We are a family of 3 (myself, my wife and 1 child).
I have received an initial job offer with following remuneration:

7. Annual return ticket for all of us
8. 90% schooling assistance maximum for 1 child with a cap of 40,000 AED per year
9. 22 paid leaves per year
My specific questions are as under:
1. What is the typical norm for probation period in Abu Dhabi?
2. What is the norm for number of days of paid annual leave in Abu Dhabi?
3. Is it normal to receive a 2 year limited employment contract and what does that mean?
4. What is the normal range of expense for a good international school?
5. Is the schooling allowance usually limited to maximum 1 child?
6. How much would it cost to rent a family type car per month?
I would really appreciate if some of you could please provide me with your inputs and share any experience that you may have had with respect to the above.
Thanks a lot in advance
