I am considering various opportunities in UAE, although a colleague of mine currently working with Lend Lease in Abu Dhabi as advised me against it.
I would be greatful for any advice in this respect, as allways I am nervous about salaries and the effect of currancy fluctuations, adequate housing allowances etc.
What other pitfalls exist?
Rising cost of living? restrictions on leisure time?
Is it possible to negotiate for housing to be provided instead of an allowance? Is that a good idea? Should I get utilities included?
Thanks

I work for Mott MacDonald.
If you are interested in working in that area some of my colleagues might be able to help, if you want I can pass your details on to my colleague who handles UAE jobs, as I am UK focused. I can probably fill you in on the kind of conditions offered as well.
