The first month would be paid for in a hotel to give me time to find a place etc
Would I be saving money each month on this salary?
Median is more like 5k.
Mid class starts from 20-25k
on property prices that are the same as another Muslim country like Kuala Lumpur. Fuel prices are the same and it is not such a rich country with a wealth of citizens. I estimate that the prices are a bubble due to the mediation of banks or entrepreneurs who lend naively expecting a high interest rate.
It is no coincidence that people from countries that are bankrupt are looking for work and are looking for the land of promise.
I estimate that money has gone to the Balkans and Asia is more reasonable in cost of living and real estate purchases.
No one answers who knows and everyone writes for a job search.
I have been offered a job in Dubai. The package is around 96000 AED annually. Which is 8000 AED/month plus incentives. I’m single moving from India. How’s the cost of living there ? I need to save atleast 30% for my debts in India. Is it advisable to move ? Kindly suggest. Looking for the best suggestion from you guys.
Thanks a ton

The same has been done in Thailand Bangkok where the cost of living is about 550 euros with the cost of buying an apartment in the center is 3500-4000 euros.
In Bangkok is the German bank Deutsch Bang with Chinese banks and Russian manufacturers who have even created real estate bubbles. Many Germans, Norwegians marry Thai fakes who transfer all their rights because the law forbids
They are crazy about what they buy or want to launder money from smuggling or drug trafficking. Thailand will lose the quality buyer. The same will happen in Dubai.
While the cost of living buying products is almost the same with differences of about 5% -9% in both Bulgaria, Serbia, Thailand the money you need to live has a huge difference.
If you want send me where you owe the price difference. I am not referring to very expensive areas of Dubai but to popular neighborhoods within the city center.

There’s no city centre in Dubai, just get a good modern Studio or 1bhk in area nearby work office.
Now you can rent a 1bhk for even less than 40k AED a year.
A good midclass life on a whole will set you back 16k a month all inclusive with rent, groceries, lavish lifestyle and traveling
Thanks in advance
With 10k to save a chunk out of it you should probably live in a shared flat and use public transportation: is that good for you?
It can be also a stepping stone to get into UAE market and then search for a better opportunity, but don’t expect big chances while the economy is in the current state, due to Covid salaries are depressed
Mind that as an American you’ve to file for tax return to FATCA.
Now due to Covid and layoffs salaries are low due to oversupply of talents.
If possible try to apply for American companies that have offices in Dubai, otherwise the other international or local big players like Emirates, Noon, Careem, TikTok, Oracle, Emaar, ...
I have 3 years experience working in US Human Resources as a generalist.
Any tips you can provide in finding a job there?
I heard if you have a US passport, they can pay you a bit more.
Thanks in advance!
In Dubai there’s no concept of “city centre”, are all isolated neighborhoods with different standards and services.
There’s a hood named “Downtown “ but that just a name like another.
We can consider “city Centre” the most modern hoods: Barsha Heights has1bhk for 4K a month.
We can consider “outside city centre “ the old hoods: Al Barsha has 1bhk for 3k a month.
In general real estate prices are low now.
Things would change tho if you get at least a 10k job: 20k total move you barely into midclass and with a prudent lifestyle you can enjoy Dubai and still save a chunk, but mind education for the kid is very expensive.
<= 8k low class
20k >= 60k mid class
>= 100k upper class
Thing is that UAE needs a foreign population that is dynamic and replaceable: no welfare exploitation, no permanent residency, always on temporary visa that keeps the expats active in job positions; this makes impossible for a refugee to stay if not that is educated enough to get a job and keep it..
Also being Arab in Dubai doesn’t give you any privilege if not you’re khaliji maybe.
Maybe it's because Dubai don't want refugees? But then why Europe should take those people since it's different culture?
I'm a licensed Professional Teacher here in the Philippines, and has been teaching for 8 years, with a Masters Degree.
I am very much interested in teaching in Dubai, kindly enlighten me of how much does a Teacher earn there? Is there a difference from
a Govt school to a Private School pay scale? how much is the cost of living on an average for a single person, i don't drink and go for social gatherings, so typically my objective is to work and earn as much as I can.
Thank you.

If i am offered a job with a net salary of USD 6k or AED 22k per month.
Health /Medical covered by company only.
Kindly advise whether this is worth to accept the offer with my partners no kids and with some saving every month (USD 1k).
I have moderate lifestlye.
We were offered a job with a net salary of 20,000usd or 73,000AED per month net (combined income). The company will cover education cost for our 12yo to attend international school, private health care and other perks BUT accommodation is on us.
How much does a 3bed apartment within close proximity to the airport DXB would cost?
What are the other fixed running cost to live in Dubai?
Average grocery cost per month for a family of three?
How does this compare to Europe? We are currently based in Central Europe and with a monthly running cost of 7,000usd or 25,000AED we are living rather comfortably Very close to the city centre in a “residential family friendly area”. Does this setting exist in Dubai?
Midclass starts from 25k especially if you’ve a weatern lifestyle.
A studio in good area is 5k a month, monthly internet for home 350 aed, ticket for the opera 200 aed, a crappy pint of Heineken 45 aed, main course in mid range chain restaurant like Chili’s 80 aed.
There’s no welfare, so no point if you cannot save at least 40% of the salary
Would I be able to survive there?
Im coming from South Africa.
Basic 40000 AED
Utilities 18000 AES
Kids study allowances 104,000 per year
No accomodation & transportation allowances
Health & medical benefit covers for family
Please advise. Thank you.
Firstly with 7+ years of experience the salary is low especially. Please note the current family visa requires minimum salary of AED 4,000 or AED 3,000 plus accommodation. Education is extremely costly in dubai.i am not sure how old is your child but at this salary it would be difficult to afford schooling unless you get some education allowance. The salary should be at least 3 times your current salary in india to manage for your expenses and make some savings.
4000 Seems not so good salary for the role. I can share a simple math which I follow. Your salary post conversion should be three times you currently earn, since 1/3 goes into your expenses 1/3 is what you are already earning and the last 1/3 to make it worth working so far. Ofcourse it works if you have a simple to moderate life style.
Maybe, but you'll have an uncomfortable lifestyle on that salary. And judging it, the "accommodation" must be a bunk bed with 5 Pakistani and Bengali workers in one room.
i am planning on moving to Dubai, can someone pls tell me the salary of a junior architect in Dubai.
I’m offered 1700 AED. Accomodation and transportation are covered by company. Is that enough for single person to live decent?

Not sure about transportation.
Is it a good offer?

kindly advice its worth offer ? what about other mininum expenditure for per person. finally what is my net saving per month in AED ????
Don’t settle for less, social mobility is not easy in Dubai tech market
More like you would spend 3500$ a month and you need at least a salary of 7k$ NET
I have an opportunity to work in dubai with a salary 14000 AED, I have a wife. This offer is along with car and 1 ticket per year, is it good?
Regards.
If you wanna live in a shared dormitory in Deira and eat in cafeterias you can get by spending 80 AED a day with food and transportation, if you wanna stay closer to the tech companies areas and have a proper hotel you need way more like 250 AED a day at least, this counting that this season is low season and hotels are very cheap compared to the rest of the year.
That said, is a very quiet period for Dubai job market, not very easy to find jobs even for highly qualified engineers.

What’s the point of leaving your country and move faraway from your family and friends to leave in 5 in a room, commute 4 hours a day and eat trash? This is valid not only for Dubai but for any city for instance...
If not that you’re running away from war ... but if you’re from the subcontinent don’t move for less than 20-25k
1 USD = 3.67 AED
I’m a tool and die maker making 30$ per hour. What would that be in Dubai ?
What does AED stand for?
It depends with which city you want to compare, mind that the salaries in Dubai are all net (no income tax) and that cost of life could be compared with London or Singapore
I want people from Engineering background to evaluate the condition of this contract and advise me if this is a reasonable contract , because I almost take nearly 75% of the same in my own country >
Total compensation : AED 45,000 per month
Basic Salary : AED 33.550 per month
Housing Allowances AED: 15,950 monthly
Transportation Allowances 3,300 per month
Cost of living monthly AED 2,200
Other include Tickets and health insurance
please advise
If that’s yearly don’t think about stepping into Dubai for that salary
For Dubai don’t move for less than 25k like you would do for London or Silicon Valley, with at least those money and no kids you can have a good life in UAE
