Default Advice on Salary offered

Hi,

I know you get this alot but some quick help would be nice!

I have been offered 100,000 AED a month from a company, Im a single guy coming here by myself. what do you guys think?

Accomodation - they are sorting me out with a 1 bedroom apartment in the Marina i think, which I do not have to pay rent on.

Is this enough to get by on?

Thanks,

If it indeed is 100K AED, it is great. You could live a very good life on this (based on discussions on this board although I have not been to Dubai yet, coming in July).

Did you mean 10,000/month or 100,000/year?

erm, that's nearly £14k a month.

If that's the right figure, got any jobs going at your place?

I think this is a good salary. It usually ranges around $300K but with your housing allowance, it is right where it should be. I am not a commodity broker but have heard packages are nice. Good luck
