Good salary?

Post new topic

Craig_1988

Hi,

I have been offered a job in Dubai and I am unsure what a decent salary is as there are many variables on what someone can earn. I have been offered a package which includes housing allowance (£15,000 per year approx), company vehicle, medical insurance and 2X return flights per year. My annual salary will be £40,000 per year.
It sounds great but is it enough to live comfortably in Dubai?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Craig.

I would say yes, enough to live comfortably. But how comfortable depends on your lifestyle and whether you're single or you have dependents
