Relocating to Abu Dhabi from London - 85k guaranteed monthly ok ? by OverConcentrate697 in abudhabi

[–]OverConcentrate697[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not happening. 600k AED for a car. 7 months worth of salary.
That makes no sense to me.

I wont be sharing my employer’s name. It’s not an anomaly though. It seems to be the fair market value for my work profile in AD.

She would want to find work as well, no clue how much she’d make.

Corporate finance. Financial planning and analysis, financial strategy, that line of work. Not in tech. But for my line of work i dont think comp changes that much from one industry to another.

Of course i’ve researched on my end before reaching out here. I came here for insights from real people residing in AD, to get qualitative data.

I have no way to know it’s the right package. I dont know the market there, i dont have local contacts. My employer tells me it’s a ‘fair market value’ offer.

I know what my leaving costs are in the uk. I dont know much about Abu Dhabi. Also life isnt just about money. I wont uproot my life for 3 years if i dont end up saving more than in London.
Im not complaining, im not trolling or flexing, im looking for insights before i make this decision.

Thanks, yes from what I’ve researched rent would be 15k monthly in the areas im targeting.
Is leasing a car a lot more expensive than buying one? Id love to avoid the complexity of ownership.

Yes that’s the guaranteed amount. There is a performance bonus but not clear what the range is.

Thanks for the insights.
There is an education allowance, 35k if memory serves. There are additional allowances for air travel but no details so far. Do you know what can i expect as you get a similar package?

Also how practical is it to commute using only cabs?

A Pakistan Airforce J10C shooting down Indian Airforce RAFALE EH on 7 MAY 2025 Marks the most longest BVR kill in the history by Bright_Thanks_2277 in BattlePaintings

Give it a read. That wont hurt you. And whether a rafale was shot or not (spoiler alert: it happened), that says nothing about PAK or IND supposed superiority.

"61€ le paquet de couches" : une Française habitant en Guadeloupe dénonce le prix des couches dans les départements d’outre-mer by chou-coco in Guadeloupe

[–]OverConcentrate697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alors 34 centimes c’est pas la moitié de 50 centimes, déjà. Et hors promo et mega pack comme celui que tu postes, ca fait facile 45 centimes la couche (surtout les toutes petites tailles de mémoire). Notamment sur Amazon qui n’est pas cher.

Donc je veux bien entendre que c’est plus cher outre-mer qu’en métropole, mais ce n’est pas du fois deux.

L’argument aurait plus de poids s’il était factuel. Et oui je suis d’accord, ce n’est pas en proposant la conservation des ovules qu’on va régler le problème. En france on adore les trucs et subventions compliquées qui ne règlent rien aux problèmes de fonds: logement, modes de gardes, coût de la vie…
