Answer 1

STAY WHERE YOU ARE.... NONE OF THE OFFERS IS WORTH !!!

1. This kind of offer in Dubai is way back in 1998.
2. This kind of offer in Oman is back in 2001.
3. This offer in Singapore is for Domestic Helpers.

If you consider yourself as qualified & as expert ... then please dont accept and dont downgrade the profession and your collegues in the industry who is getting at least 3x what you have!!!

Answer 2

I did not understand your numbers at all, if you look at your question.

So I will do my best to attempt an answer.

No matter what the cost of living is, generally 2/3 of that goes into accomadation. So figure that in.

Which culture do you think that you could get along in better? And do you know the positions that you are taking in each place? Are the offers compensatory to your experience?

Dubai is supposedly one of the most up and coming places in the world. The opportunity there could be trememdous. I have heard from so many people that it is an amazing place.

Excerpt (From Lonely Planet):

Flashy, fun, very now, yet distinctly Arabian, Dubai's allure lies in its contrasts. The sound of the muezzin's call to prayer cuts through DJs spinning the latest wax at hip clubs. Traditional architecture blends with modern constructions like something out of science fiction. Modern souqs are fairytale interpretations of old-school bazaars. Whatever your bent, this smart and streetwise guidebook has the city covered.

TREAT YOURSELF from sprawling souqs to mammoth malls, our authors have hand-picked the best places to bag yourself a bargain
DINE OUT from a simple street shawarma to haute cuisine, our reviews pinpoint the best of the bunch
FIND THE NIGHTLIFE whether you're here for the sheesha or the shakin', we'll help you find your scene
SLEEP IN STYLE informative reviews of the best luxury hotels, beach resorts and top-value budget options make the decisions easy
MAKE TRACKS with day trips to Hatta, the Buraimi Oasis and Abu Dhabi

That's the one I would take. But I would still do some additional research on how much different things cost in different places. You can do this by simply looking at restaurant prices (based on stars). Or even reading travel guides, like Lonely Planet. This book got me all over Europe when I was backpacking.

Answer 3

Best is, keep the job in India: take long leave for two years, go to Dubai and accept the contract, which sounds really good! Singapore is expensive, cost of living is high! Muscat just about ok: Dubai is good for you!

Answer 4

The first one sounds good to me. I've heard that $1800 without accommodation is tough situation in Singapore. (I'm not sure)

Answer 5

all the salaries offered to you are useless/hopeless/not suitable at all. u will be much better off in India. These salaries are fit onnly for unskilled worker

Answer 6

i guess u take dubai as ur best offer and after 2 yrs u will find anohter place w/ good pay also.
