2800 is very low and definitely not what an engineer deserves (even without MBA). Renting a place in Dubai is a pain in the neck. To give you an idea, if you go for sharing a room (not flat) with one person, it will easily cost you 1200-1500 AED. With this kind of salary, you won't have any savings unless you are prepared to stay in bedspace (where you can even end up in a room being shared by 12 persons!!) which would cost you may be 500 AED. If you are a kind of guy who is willing to make compromises initially and don't have to provide support to your family back home then you can go for it but be prepared to have a tough life. In my opinion, even for a single person, you should get at least 4000-5000AED min (to begin with)

No, that is not enough.
3 :
Very low salary. In dubai house is so expensive . otherwise u will wast around 800 just for 1 bed space in a room with other 4 whitch is not good for ur salary also the life is so expensive here . Dont accept it
4 :
Also when Dhs 2.800 are more than 15K INR, it's not enough at all for a decent life in Dubai and a joke for a full time job in your profession. Our so called "coffee boy" makes 3.600 + benefits. I do not know what you mean by "convenience", but when accommodation is meant by that, it may be just a bed space in a shared room with others. A room without any privacy shared with strangers. Is that what you went to college for? By insurance provided, I assume you are talking about health care. Please be aware, that this offered health care will only cover basics without the opportunity to visit a doc of your choice. I am quite sure that you are suppose to sign a limited contract for 2 or 3 years, which means you will be stuck to a very low lifestyle for a couple years. I have to leave it up to you what to do or not, but there should be a better offer than this one. Please visit the link giving below, do some maths and think twice. http://www.dubaifaqs.com/cost-of-living-in-dubai.php Take care.

Bad Salary. You will regret coming here with that salary. Why is your Indian salary so low?? Are you a fresher? All the Indian MBAs I know earn nothing less than RS 40k and at starting! (thats in Mumbai of course) Search harder. Maybe you simply need a new or you're seriously underpaid.
6 :
No. It’s a very very low salary. Especially if your accommodation i not provided by the company. On the other hand, I guess its a bad time to come here, as all Indians in our company and around are moving back to India (all levels, managers through labors). With all due respect, the market here has got some negative feeling about Indians now.

Is Dubai safe to work and live in if you are a British, single female
Is Dubai safe to work and live in if you are a British, single female?
I am thinking of working in Dubai short-term (6 months) - due to the current economic climate in Britain. I have never been to Dubai before. Does anyone have personal experiences of living/working in Dubai? How acceptable is it out there as a single, British female? What is there to do in your free time? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks I don't have a brother, husband or boyfriend. Also I am not from England, and people stare in this country too!!!

Sweetie, if I were you, I would not go there. The people of Dubai are very kind. It is the people who work for the government that are really cruel. Also you are a foreigner and since you do not wear the Hijab (scarf); there will be times when you will be sexually harassed by men. I recommend not going alone, go with your brother or husband, a male, Its not for anything particular but it makes it convenient sweetie. It is so sad that the people are starving and poor, yes the government is corrupt and greedy. The news do not show the poor in the media. It is all sensored. there are literary people who have a skyscaper as a house there. It has many good places like restaurants and bars, but you will be harassed if you do not wear the hijab. Basically what am saying stick to England. Lol their toilets, you have to kneel and wash with water. You will lose all your luxury that you live with in England, life in the middle east is a wonder. You will receive extra attention since you will be a foreigner. But if you can take the stare of people then you should be fine. My answer might be scary, but give it a shot and you will get used to it. Its also a good chance to start fresh. If you need any more advice or any questions just post them. For the Users below, I agree with you but, when was the last time you've been to Dubai, If the last time you've been there was five yearst ago, wooh! thats a long time and enough time for drastic changes. Sweetie listen to me, there is a revolution in the wake all over the Middle East. It might even reach Dubai, If you go there now, think about it, you might do good, but if the revolution gets there, expect some economic instability. One other thing, in the middle east to get things done, youll have to bribe your way through, even the doctors office or hospital. I am speaking from personal experience. I understand my statements might offend others, but the others either have not seen the recent Dubai and still remember an old Dubai from a couple years ago or they were lucky and did not have to pay. Anyway sweetie its all your decision. And i hope you make it for the best. goood luck!

Hello Sweetie I do not agree with some of the points made above by the user. 1) Men in the UK will harass you no matter if you wear a Hijab or not. 2) The government in the UK is more corrupt, they even steal from the treasury and claim it as tax back, for example watching porn or buy a tin of beans is claimed back. 3) The UK has turned out to be such a nasty place to live, so many crimes, thefts your not even safe to wak the streets at night. 4) UK is still in recession and the country is on the verge of bankruptcy, UK government are not stealing money from students to pay back debt. 5) Luxury in the UK, what Luxury? @S S - please eloborate. 6) Living in the UK you are in debt all your life. 7) UK Media target Asians etc.....always causing problems. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UAE 1) People are friendly and you will get the occasional flirt by guys mostly western men engage in flirting and wanting more. 2) Come and enjoy the UAE, you may like it. 3) Government is corrupt everywhere.

No matter where you are from, Dubai is a very safe place for a single woman to live/work. To avoid unwanted attention you just have to follow a simple rule: swim wear a beaches/pools only and otherwise "decent" - means, just normal western clothes, shoulders and knees should be covered. Going out at night - different story. Being single, use common sense in Dubai like you would do in the UK. Never get in the car with a stranger offering you a ride home and don't get drunk in public. Depending on your profession/position and people you will work with, please take into consideration that you might have to work with different nationalities and you may exercise different work habits. Please note that you sponsor/company has to provide a mission visa so you can legally work in the UAE. Many people came here to work short term and are still here years later. Bring your intl. driver's permit in case you want to rent a car. Ideas what to do in your spare time, please visit: http://www.dubaifaqs.com/things-to-do-in-dubai.php In the UAE you neither need a brother nor a husband to feel safe. You can live an indebendable life as a single woman here and many do so. Please just ignore the first giving answer. That person is a troll or doesn't have any clue he/she is talking about. Take care. @SS: Before you don't know what you are talking about, you better stay quiet. You never been to Dubai! You're talking typical American nonsense.

my long-looked lovely british girl, i wait for you, i can be your safest boyfriend and my monkey your devoted brother, we will love an protect you for ever, come honey , come .... waiting to you impatiently, kissssssss

As a working woman actually in Dubai and with kids (including a girl), I can tell you that most of what you read (including one of the comments above) is pure crud. Seriously - have to pay bribes to get medical treatment. What a load. Dubai is safe, welcoming and a very easy place to live. I know many single females here and they have a great life - social life good, heaps of travel, make some good money instead of being paid a pittance. You will meet heaps of people - as you cannot get residency here, pretty much everyone is transient so they make an effort to meet people. I have met people in lifts that became friends. There are social issues, but tell me a country that does not have them!! And you MUST get to know and follow the rules here or life will not be nice for you. It is not for everyone, but I love it.

honestly , ignore the answer given by SS , it is not true what he is saying , all the others are correct Fairies gave you some good info. which is reliable good luck & welcome to dubai
