smighty Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hello, I´ve got a job offer from Dubai, which seems to be very interesting and also financially very attractive. I´ver never been there, so I´ll fly down there in the end of Mai to make my own opinion. The position would be fulltime, 2 month trial periode and then a 1 year contract. Just wanted to ask if somebody here has experiences concerrning Dubai, what I´m interested is if it is worth living there a longer time period..... Thank´s!

smighty Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hi- I like it hot, that´s no problem-ok perhaps June-September that´s far too hot I think. I didn´t mean money with worth "of living there", I meant living in general there as european--- just heard some stories of old school collegues, who meant : "ok, it´s interesting for 3-4 months, but that´s it----nothing for long term...."

SandmanNinja Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 everyone feels like that when he miss his home country .... I think that could be said almost anywhere you move. I know someone who lived in Western Australia for decades and moved to Victoria - and they can't shut up about it. hehe When I travelled overseas, I made myself promise that I would not try to 'drag' my 'country' with me. While I didn't embrace the locales I visited, adapting their dress or religious views, I did eat the local food and only did "the traditional tourist" things once or twice. Finding an out-of-the-way place that doesn't cater to tourists can be very refreshing. Enjoy the work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipdesigner Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Beware of High Rent, it seize half of your salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smighty Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hi.. If I´ll move there I will enjoy...hopefully! Yes the rents are high, but if it would be 50% of the salary I wouldn´t move there.... it just makes sense if you can save there some (or a lot) of money--i think... ....also read that you get for about 800 euro/month a furnished room with your own bath---or for 1200-1300 euro/month your own flat about 50m2... you earn more there so with this point of view the prices are okay for me. We will see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
