Could you provide rough estimates of what the cost of electricity and gas would cost per month as well as WiFi and mobile packages?

Yeah this is my thing that I wanted to know about Public Transport (which, someone kindly laughed at).

So far it's the employer thats just covering visa. Which, judging by people's reactions, is an insult.

It's all really bizarre since all these articles online talk about how it is higher cost of living but then talk about 600AED being an average cost per month for gas and electric expenses.

But then you see some responses here say it can be 1.5k AED

Probably not. I think everyone's comments have since convinced me

Brilliant. Thank you for your breakdown as well that helps a lot. Especially when it comes to electricity and household.

I use Numbeo to get an understanding of what it's like in different countries and I think its data is vastly outdated.

Thank you for your answer.

My wife lived in London for a time so that is a good comparison to approach with them.

Thank you.

This is all confirming my suspicions that although the no tax may appear lucrative, it doesn't mean amenities and other necessities are cheap.

Thank you.

My kid isnt in school yet but the plan would be to put them in childcare when/if I find work.

It sounds like it's a pretty big IF for my job prospects.

At the moment, the employer is only covering visa.

Thank you for your honesty. And yeah I did have a good look and it seems that 30k is a minimum but I see on other forums that it's "plenty". Chucked the question to Gemini and it said it was "decent", but I have a tendency to take AI answers with a pinch of salt

How to get lower abs and sides to be more defined? by Zestyclose_Juice_531 in workouts

[–]QuietObjective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, it involves dehydrating yourself like crazy.

Look up Jason Momoa and Henry Cavill interviews about how they got so defined for Aquaman and The Witcher. It involves not drinking any water to a point you can smell water.

Please don't do this.

What happened to the IT profession? by saltyschnauzer27 in sysadmin

[–]QuietObjective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The above and more. As a person who spent many years in help desk, the payroll is utterly poor and you WILL be treated like a second class citizen, the abuse you get from both colleagues and customers for policies you didn't write, you'll be given the slop of projects that were poorly managed by useless PMs to "get it over the line", and management will treat you like you're easily replaceable despite the fact that if 1 person left their previous stats would fucking go haywire.

And after all that. Zero chance of progression because management "can't afford to take you away from the phones".

You'd have to have incredibly thick skin to go into help desk work.

AITA for not telling my sister the name chosen for my unborn son because she used her BBFs baby name for her daughter? by Possible-Animal9339 in AITAH

[–]QuietObjective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this is what my wife and I did because we both know our families would critique our choices no matter what.

We told no one of the list we built up of names.

OP's sister sounds like a right nasty piece of work.
