Hi In dubai

Hello Amit
Are you in Dubai or India ? Or still considering the offer!!

 

The amount 175000 AED offered to you is reasonable one. But are you getting any other perks prior to your salary like car fuel, house rent, phone, comission, flights home etc? If they are exclusive of the package then I would suggest you should go ahead with the relocation and the new job, otherwise not.

 

You can live in dubai with AED 10,000 .It depends where you want to stay .you will get accomodation in ajman where rent is cheap but in dubai rent will be more .But this salary is good to start a new life in dubai

 

It's a reasonable salary.

 

Hi Amit

Would you be looking to buy or rent a property in Dubai ?

The salary is fair. Keep in mind that you have to pay one year's rent in advance. For an indication of rental prices, see the gulf news website (property) or dubizzle.

If you have kids going to school - that's very expensive.

 

take the offer. get as many perks as possible including a signing bonus. make your wife work too. rent a place. have a good life.

 

well yes dubai is a great place to live in and the offer is not bad at all. and yes surely your wife will and can a good job as well. and 17500 AED is alot for a good living!
