Salaries in Dubai

[will_968]

If someone were a single guy working in telecoms sales in the UK, earning £65k base + £20k commission, and looking to make an internal move within the same company to Dubai, what is a realistic salary should they be looking for? Would this buy them a "better" standard of living than they have in the UK? Their main expenses in the UK from highest to lowest are a cars , mortgage, entertainment and holidays in that order. As it's an internal move, they are expecting be be able to get a pay rise as such - just want to make sure it's "fair", attractive, and they aren't being sold short/loosing out in any way.

Any input appreciated.

Thanks Vanya.

I've just spoken with HR and am being offered 460k AED (inc. base, housing, car) and 110k AED commission, plus 27k AED to cover relocation expenses. Having just spent half an hour analyzing this, I'm thinking it's a decent offer, and should afford me a better standard of living over in Dubai than in the Thames Valley are of the UK. Does this sound correct? Any thoughts on how that salary in Dubai relates to the UK?

Any input again much appreciated.

Thanks again Vanya.

Perhaps more importantly, will I be able to afford a 996 TT? What kind of money are they out there? I've not managed to find many for sale. Are they a good run around?

Yep - exactly right.
