Hi hope you don't mind me being nosey but wondered who you were going to be working for? Reason I ask is my other half is trying to get into the aviation market in DXB and hoped you may be able to point us in the direction of any vacancies.

if you are on a six figure sum where you are, and are happy I wouldn't come here to live in Mirdif?

I normally wouldn't answer a question with a question, but this is an exception. If you are in the UAE, why are you there? I did not say the Mirdif was my first choice just an option. I think lots of professional people might come for the challenge, or maybe the chance to earn a tax-free income before they call it a day in their chosen profession. I love international aviation and know I have much to offer the organization I might join. And the tax-free income would set us up very nicely in retirement. I hope that answers your question.

that really depends on the about of money you are earning though? and it isn't tax free if you are American .....

Geordie you are correct. We (Americans) are not 100% tax-free and that fact plays into salary negotiations. Our foreign income exclusion is between $85 - $91,000 per year, with the rest you have to be creative.
