Answer 1

What is the job? Are you sure this is a geniune offer?

Abu Dhabi is fine to live with unlike in Dubai. Go for it once you know that the company is okay!

Answer 2

if it is 11,000 uase per month, u can take up the job.

Answer 3

Hi,

The salary seems to be OK. Everything here is costly.  Accommodation will cost u around 2000 Dhs (if alone) and around 4500 Dhs if with family per month. Food depends upon what your taste is, but it will cost atleast 1000 Dhs (if alone). Regarding transportation you must look for a flat near your job place, taxi here is very costly and rare. Bus timings and routes are messy.

But all and all the offer is good.

I guess u are a engineer (may be Civil)

Answer 4

How did you get this offer?

Do not refuse but try and negotiate this things.

It is just not cost but availability also, you do need to really make sure you have a place to stay and also the transportation, to work and back and shopping for essentials..

Answer 5

Dear Friend

If you provide the job title, I can say the salary is acceptable for the same, but now just I will say it's good salary comparing many others.

Accommodation is costly and availability is less here.

You may able to save something (not a good saving).

An average cost of accommodation for 1BHK/Studio will be AED60K-AED120K per annum, and rest in your hands, purely depends on the spending style of you.

If you get an accommodation at 60K per annum, you will save at least 3000 AED per month. (if your budget is AED 8000 including all exp)

Best of Luck

Thx
