Dubai - Management Consulting jobs available? (Finance)?

Question

I work for one of the top consulting firms in the US, doing Executive Finance Mgmt Consulting. I have been approached by 2 companies setting up shop in Dubai but I dont have a good feel of what their compensation packages look like.. i know the answer is "depends" but in general, how are compensation packages and cost of living compared to the U.S.... thanks

Answer 1

The biggest hassle is accommodation as the property price are cooked & all the housing agents are useless crooks. If this is taken care of, then you are pretty much ok.

A proper studio apartment would cost you around 80k aed/ year, 1 BR would be 100k, 2 BR 130k, 3BR 160k.

Gasoline is cheaper compared to US, foods are more expensive (than asia) but there are still some range of choices.

Monthly gasoline cost prob would range in 400-500 aed/ month. lunch would cost you between 15-30. Dinner prob 20-50.
