Hi,
I am about to negotiate a package with one reputable car company in Jebel Ali. They are willing to pay me 4,500 us plus certain accomodation!
Questions:
1) I need to save 2500 us per month to accomodate my family outside Dubai (my family live in another country)
Would 2,000 us be enough for me to survive alone in around Jebel Ali area? (renting a flat bachelor apart.+ car expenses+ phone+ food?)

Thanks.
F.

Living in Dubai needs enough income in order to follow the flow and cost of living there.But I think it’s your own time management and proper budgeting of your money.For me it is not necessary whether your in Dubai or other places.what you need is wise thinking on how you spend your money.

Hi Richi,
rents in dubai have gone down considerably compared to the pre-crisis era. concerning the proposed salary, it all depends on your qualifications and experience really – you can get a clearer idea about salaries for jobs in dubai on bayt.com salaries section (will give you a useful salary bracket) – http://www.bayt.com/salaries
Good luck with your job search!

rao_v

my advice to you is that your salary is very low.
you will really struggle a lot if you accept the offer. There are people who accept less than 14000 but trust me most of them are struggling and some of them regret accepting low salary because this country is very expensive.
only petrol and cigarettes are a little bit cheap.

Cheers
