Hi everyone

I hope you are all well,

I have been shortlisted for a CTO role in Dubai, the salary package is in USD 9000 per month which is around 33030pm plus housing, work visa, medical aid, school education, plus the 2 return flight to SA and 30 days leave,

I am not sure about the cost of living in the UAE

Is suffient enough to have a great lifestyle with saving every month.

Will need to get a car though.

Your feedback will be highly appreciated.

Kameel.

We have many threads here discussing the cost of living.

You didn't mention how much is your housing and schooling coverage - those limits will make a difference to lifestyle. The rest of the package is standard.

The other thing is that you need to be specific i.e. do you want to live in an apartment, a villa, what kind of schools you want the children in, do you like to eat out etc.......this will give a better idea of what your cost outlay is going to be like. It is difficult to answer generic questions - for some people even 20K per month is a big amount whereas for others 60K is too little due to lifestyle choices.
