Is it worth the move??

18000 AED comes to approximately 4000 Euro,Abudhabi is very costly emirate in UAE the rents are very high in this place,if the company is providing you with accommodation then its its a good salary,but if you going to pay for your own accommodation then you will end up hand to mouth with this salary, but you can live reasonably good life style.

Very similar responses gained from reading other threads. Although it is tax free, living expenses are high in Abu Dhabi. Hence what's offered may sound a lot but won't go far once essentials are taken care of.

If the employer is not willing to negotiate I will be declining the offer and continue my search.

Thanks for taking the time to advice abubakar007 i'v taken it on board.

Hi raazi,
This is not bad salary but i agree with you that you should to try to negotiate with the employer for better opportunity and benefits,
I hope the best for you.
