Answer 1

You just can't compare the xpns as it is much more than Delhi, you have to spend minimum double than you spend at India though it depends on your living style, you are comparing a consumer driven country with a productive one, I (middle managment) live here with my family as of your case I too got 2 kids (8&6 years) and wife obviously, and with a maximum controlled xpns I spends at-least 6000 AED per month w/out counting entertainment, medical xpns and a private/independent living facility. If I am in your shoes with a top managment responsibility I would stick to it and do continue at India, BUT you see sometime you have to take risk and venture out for better fortune. Good Luck
