Hi all,

I realised that this is a very popular forum and people are helpful so I shall not be stingy in firing some questions.

I'm a structural engineer and have 5 years experience in UK. Will be taking my part 1 IStructE review this October. Currently I'm doing more on the technical side such as 3D modelling, structural analysis, spreadsheet etc.

I have just been approached by an agent and this is what she offered.

Salary: 21'000 AED
Living Allowance: 8'000 AED
Car Allowance: 2'000 AED

1) Can all the engineers in Dubai give some suggestion please? Is this a decent package?

2) I know the accommodation is rocket high there and I don't know if this is sufficient for me to survive.

3) Can anyone with a similar experience provide some advise?

Please... all comments appreciated. Thank you.

Regards,
Daniel Lim
