Anyone ever live in Dubai?
I have an oportunity for a position in Dubai. It would most likely be a 2-3 year conract. My wife and kids would stay in the US.
Anyone have any experience with Dubai? What should I require salary wise? I have been doing some research and it appears it is common for them to include housing, maid service, travel, etc. with ex-pat offers. Government provides healthcare with all jobs. Cost of living is pretty high, but if I can get the salary I am asking for and all the other benifets above, it would be pretty sweet. Especially if travel is part of the deal so I could come home every few months to see the family. |

I wouldn't leave my wife and kids and live in Dubai for any amount of money, but that's just me. That's just me though and it has nothing to do with Dubai.

My Aunt works for the Army Corp of Engineers and doesn't mind going to Dubai. It is interesting with being in a position of authority being a women over there though.

It's pretty much all that's wrong with the world, but it's supposedly very nice (in large part thanks to the imported slave labor).

All I know of Dubai is that it's super rich, super nice, and super expensive. Oh, and that they pay Tiger Woods ****tons of cash to come play in their tournament. I assume this position you're offered will pay YOU ****tons of cash? |
