Average Cost of Living 3 Bed villa with pool

[flossie]

I would bet my bottom dollar that there has been an error and the salary is meant to be per year, not per month as that would be about what you would expect to earn. I'd ring the people who sent you the contract and double check.

Oh yeah- I would also double check contract - $200,000 would sound correct PER YEAR

What I have heard for a snr position in the construction company you are happy if you get 55k aed per month plus benefits. That sounds too good to be true.

I work in engineering and that kind of money doesn't exist, ESP in construction, where there are a zillion people all willing to work for alot less than that!

If you were making that kind of money a month, you would be insanely rich, and may as well buy a 10 bedroom mansion on the Palm.

Oh, and drinks are on you! Haha

We own a construction company - and trust me- we dont "earn" $200,000 a month ( and neither do our staff...lol)

Thanks Guys now you have got me worried ! Contract due to arrived early next week. Offer letter def says per month. Maybe typo?? Thought it sounded too good to be true

I really liked the part about you would buy a 10 bedroom mansion in The Palm and drinks are on you!! It does sound like a lot of money to me!!!! And agree, you would be insanely rich! But hey, if that's what you get, let us know when is your welcome party!!

Wow, lucky you! You should be fine. If you want 3-bed villa with private pool you will probably be looking in Jumeirah/Um Sequim but be wary of the current plans for demolition / reconstruction of the whole area, wouldn't want you to fall in love with a villa only to have to move next year... its happening a lot. Alternatives are available but less with private pools. You could consider Mirdiff or Al Warqaa or Al Barsha, depends on your work location.
