Dear friends,
I have received an offer in Abudhabi as a Planning Engineer (10 years experience).
They have offered 12,000 UAE dirhamns.
Is it enough or less for i have heard accomodations(furnished) are quite expensive.

Thank you
PS Dattatreya

    Abudhabi living conditions are good and less expensive as compared with Dubai, hence 12,000 is a reasonable offer, you can accept it. Bye the way, any problem in working in South Korea?.

    Cool Man,

    12k is a good offer for a Planning Engineer in UAE. With all expenditures you can still save 9500 per month.

    Viswas, save 9500 !!!!!!!! I cant believe this...

    Dattatreya, if you are really good you can demand upto 16,000 and belive me Abudhabi is as expensive as Dubai.

    Viswas How can you say that monthly expences in Abu Dhabi is about 2500 Dh only!!
    As I know you can’t get any accomodation less than 4000 and schooling of kids so expensive?
    Well I guess you could say the reverse what you said for saving potential?
    But still I believe the offer of 12 K is awesome but you have to compare the working environment also while taking decision?

    Good Morning
    We all need to make our own decisions in Life

    All we can do is guide you I would suggest you start with reading the local Papers (They normally give you a fair idea for the cost of Living)

    http://www.gulf-news.com/

    Start with Drawing Yourelf up your current Budget Then have a look at what that would cost in UAE.

    This would give you a fair idea. Use the Net.

    Think

    Accomodation/Utilities
    Transport
    Food
    Entertainment
    Saving

    Cheers

    Raj is right. You will not get a good double bedroom flat in less than AED 4000/ p.m. Consider school fee 600-900 p.m. per child. Electriciy Bill 300-500 per month. And in Gulf life is really difficult if you don’t own a car. So consider car expenses including Installment+Fuel+Maint 2000 per month. After this think about saving potential

    But offer of 12,000 is O.K. for asians.

    Most important confirm whether company is managed by westerners or asians. If westerners than fine and if asian than o.k. but if Egyptian ...... ...

    Best is thing about Abu Dhabi is nice cute little city. No traffic. Not a hell like Dubai or Sharjah.

    Cheers

    Hi Mohammed,

    Ithought of a good reply,but refrained. I just think the terms dogs and snakes do not apply, maybe the worst you can say is procrastinators (ie not good decision makers in the short term), as I have found by experience, but decent people at the end of the day.

    Dattatreya,

    If your job is related with Civil construction works and you have 10 years exp., then you could ask more..may be 14K. We can see advt with a Salary indication of 10K for 4 year exp. planners. Also, the living cost in UAE has gone up since last year.

    And if you are an Oil & Gas Planner, then the it should be atleast 2K plus.

    Regards,
    Harish
