True!

But you can't go and sit in a bar & have a few beers with your mates.

Hi Kids,
Just registered, been offered a job with a BMW importer in Dubai but cant help wondering if what their offering is very low compared to the uk.? Basic salary AED 5000 per month, AED 3000 housing, AED 1500 transport, Bonus AED 1-6000, Annual ticket Dubai/london/Dubai and company health care.
I am a Senior technician on a good package in the uk but would love to work in Dubai. Can anybody advise me what I should look out for..??

Am now negotiating and if they dont come up with the goods i'll be lookin elswhere..!!
Already bought a 1bed studio in sports city so housing won't be a problem really..! Thanks anyway Geordie.

so if you have a place already that would take the salary up to 8000 dhs? still crap, you need about 15 - 20 plus a housing allowance of 140k. Good luck.
