Hi there,
We are considering a move to Dubai. My husband is in the process of applying for a position with a company where we have a contact so it is optimistic that an offer will be made. They have notionally offered 25000-35000 AED per month (no housing allowance mentioned yet although firm offer not yet received). I have done a lot of reading and have concerns that this will not be enough for us as we have a 16mth old child as well. Possibly we could get home help and I could work as well.
How can we find out if the salary offered compares favourably to other architectural positions in Dubai? My husband had a Masters degree and over ten years experience in Architecture.
We are not necessarily interested in making a lot of money (I think times have changed from say 5 years ago -(think we missed the boat there!) but would like to experience a different culture for say 1-2 years before returning home. At the same time we would like to have a comfortable stay there and for the trip to be worthwhile financially.
Any advice appreciated. Thank you.
