Hello everyone, hope everything is well.
I have this offer for 8 months. But i’m really hesitated to take it as everyone around me is telling me the salary provided is very low.
So i have this project for 8 months, Expo 2020.
So i’ll be provided with, tickets, pcr, food, accommodation, transportation, and overtime if needed plus 2000-2500 AED per month as salary
But everyone around me is telling me no its not worth it.
I just want to try something new, as i dont have so much experience with travelling.
I come from egypt.
Can you please spare me your thoughts? Thankyou

Definitely not worthy. My guess is you will be sharing accommodation and working 12 hours a day. Health insurance, probably only for emergencies.
There is no good life for that salary here.
If you finally decide to take the job, make sure the health insurance is not a basic one and the accommodation is not a shared one.
All the best

Hello,
the guy up there summed it already, adding to it the food provided will not be the high standard. Now, the minimum salary for a such roles could be 4000AED and above.

The outlined salary package feels like volunteering.
If Expo is your motivation, why not.
