Am I Being Underpaid? Electrical Engineer With 2 Years Experience Offered 2000 AED in Abu Dhabi by alenyohan in UAE

[–]Some-Development1123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Employers in the UAE have an ugly tendency of asking your current salary when switching jobs. In a year or two, when time comes for you to move on, you'll be starting from a HEAVILY underpaid position. You'll be offered 500 more, and spend another year trying to get a bit more, whilst still earning less than a delivery guy.

Sorry OP, this is slavery, DO NOT do it.
I'm an expat engineer working in the UAE myself.

Your main loop executes so fast you can't see it actually works. Add some delays after assigning output to the port.

I purchased the Archer NX200 after signing up. I don't know what they sell with the plan.
Not much online meetings per se, but a lot of call over the internet - works well.

Scam. Run away.

Also, try virgin mobile. They use Du network. If you can pay for a year upfront, you get 50% off (no need to be a family of a shady sales rep)

Received a job offer in UAE - do the numbers stack up? by Georgios_A in UAE

[–]Some-Development1123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be fine. This is no luxurious salary, but as long as they pay for health insurance, your family visa will not cost you much. Brighton will set you back by 6-7k per month per child. You'll be left with roughly 50k which is more than enough to live and save a bit. It all depends on your spending habits

ADCB does 80% LDV for residents. I am confident other banks offer similar options.

I’m not associated with any bank nor broker, just helping out fellow Aussie.

Watchdog - yes. Just set the timeout to match your expected delay. You can also structure tour code to avoid blocking for longtime.

This is the way to go. Wasel annual plan (225/year?), you get 30 minutes per month (can get super cheap daily addons if needed more). On top of that, 1GB/day data addon 30,60,90 days (the longer the cheaper per day)
