ABU DHABI JOB OFFER with USD1350 SALARY. ENOUGH?

Question

Need details please.

USD1350 won't include accomodation, food, transportaion, etc.

Will I still be able to save money for my family and myself?

And another thing, I still need VIsa for me to go in Abu Dhabi right?

How long is the process of getting a UAE Visa?

It's USD1350 per month as Customer Sales Representative.I think I'll still be getting extra for sales.

Employer will offer first month accomodation for free, besides that, no more that I know.

Answer 1

Depends on what kind of lifestyle you follow.

USD 1350 approx 4900 uae dirhams. Accomodation charges are very high in Abu dhabi now. But you can try sharing accomodation at upto 1500 dirhams/ month

I would suggest that if you are coming by yourself and if you spend very little you can save a little maybe..But its difficult if you are planning to come with family and if you will be the sole income source.

Answer 2

You might get more reponses if you gave a few more details yourself.

For instance, $1350 is the salary for what? Makes a big difference if you're talking per day vs. per year.

Also, you say that won't include expenses (like accomodation, food, etc.) but you don't say if they've offered anything else to cover those?

And it also depends on whether they're planning to pay you W2 status vs 1099 status. Getting paid on a 1099 basis will mean that you'll take it on the chin for at least an extra 15% in self-employment taxes, so that's another factor to consider.

Best of luck!
