Therapist salary

Post new topic

Captainkaaat

Hello! I will be moving to Abu Dhabi (MBZ) in August to work as a therapist for children with autism.  I would like to know if I can survive on my salary. I am single with no kids. I do have a cat, however :)

8320 AED per month
60,000 AED per year housing allowance
One round trip flight home per year
Reimbursement for flight to UAE
$1500 USD for relocation expenses (I believe?)
Tuition assistance that goes up each year if I choose to go back to get my masters.

I will have a car in the Us I am going to still be paying on ($253 USD per month) and my student loans ($153 per month)

Thank you!

Hi there, what about working hours and days off? Annual leave? Bonuses? Extra working hours payment?

No extra working hours or bonuses. I get 7 weeks paid vacation a year that must be taken during holiday times in the school. Work hours are 730-330 sunday through Thursday.
