    Hi,

    Actually living in France with my wife and pour young baby (6monthes), working as an it engeener and have 7years experience.

    I got an offre to work for an international software/hardware corporation in Dubai.

    I'm requesting tour help dear expats toi see clear and toi get allé éléments that would help make a decision with my familly.

    The offre i had is thé following :

    Basic salary 32000 aed permet mounth
    Variable part +10% of annual salary (i guess will touch after every 12mounths passer)
    Car allowance 6000$
    Relocating allowance 6000$
    Private insurance for me and my familly as mer compagny standards
    Appartment in Dubai for one month when arriving at no cost

    I played with numbers and checked the casualexpat calculator for dubais vost of living, but i figured out that ait thé end will get the samedi salary i'm earning in France (4000€ mer mounth)

    So my questions are :

    I'm i mistaking for the living cost with this detail :

    - villa 2250E
    - small car for my wife including fuel fees
    - Internet/phone/TV/water,electricity,AC 500E
    - extra familly activity and day to day charges (vigitables, fruts,jus ...)
    - nursery for the baby (arround 250E)

    With all of this we have à bout 4000E of charges. Did those nulebers seems to you realistic, if note can you breif me please on charges for a familly of 3 membres.

    Can i live and save some euros with perposed salary, i know that the answer is jardin as you have no idea on the way of life i will make (but let sa normal, hanging out with freinds, doing comme shoping for my wife :), having fun and live normally)

    Thanks to all.

    Regards,

    If you used our cost of living calculator for Dubai you must have seen that €4000 in Paris is ~€3700 in Dubai. Bear in mind that their are only indications and of course it will depend on your specific expenses other there.

    3700 EUR = 17 000 AED (using our money converter) so with ~ 32000 AED per month you are well above thos targets and shouldn't have any problem.
