Hi,

I'm from London, now been in Dubai 2 Years. Working life and social life here is good. Packages vary but remember rent is very high so if anyone is earning £ 4000 (30,000 AEd) a month that's not amazing. If you live in Jumeirah rent is a killer. From my experience try a package where rent is one-quarter. So if you get an 1 Bed apartment in Green for 120 K (10K / month) then for a good package should be 40 K / month. If you get 30K / Month then as a single then that is good but not for a family.

I know a british agent who can get you a good rental price in Greens, etc..

One thing I have also noticed - Dubai is not good for career development. It's more about working in a job only. Also I reccomend if one was to come here then try Manager role - ppl are very title concious and moving jobs will also generally depend on your job title.

Anyway, wish you all the best.
