Hi to All,

Greetings!!

I am a BE- Mechanical Engineer with 9+ years experience in India.

I recently received an offer from Small Scale Industry in Dubai as below-
1. Salary Offered- 4,500 AED per month
2. Single Accommodation & Travel by Company.
3. Food by me.

Kindly guide me the proposed expenses for Food & other miscellaneous expenses (like mobile, internet, personal expenses, drinking twice per month) in Dubai.

Whether the salary is manageable or not?

How much can be saved?

How much can I demand?

Awaiting your reply/guidance at the earliest.

Whether 1000 - 1500 AED is sufficient for having food in restaurant/hotel & for other utilities.
Consider that i will live middle class status.
