Hi there all,
As you can see i am new to this forum.
i have been offered a position over in Dubai for a fairly new telcoms company that i have been advising for over the past 2yrs.
they are opening an office in Dubai in mid-2010, and i am seriously thinking about taking up the position IF it makes overall sense for my family and I.
my wife and i have a near to 1yr old daughter, and currently have been living here in connecticut, USA, for 7yrs having moved here from the UK.
here are a couple of questions that i would like some advice on so that i can carry on my research and make an educated decision on whether to move to Dubai or not.
1) what salary in Dhirams would i need to be earning in order ofr my family and i to live a decent/comfortable (not paycheck to paycheck yet not flashy either!) life over there? i would like to be able to rent a 1br apt, lease/buy 1 simple car, pay for utlities and food and be able to enjoy dubai too yet be able to SAVE $1500-$2000/month for our savings account.
2) is it a must that i need a car in dubai or is their public transport good like new york city or london city?
3) any other advice that you feel would be beneficial to me would be great too!
Like i said, we are looking to get all the facts about Dubai before we decide on whether we should leave our life here in the USA and move to Dubai for a few years.
cheers,
Nik
