Hi Sumit,
I was in a different industry, so no idea about automotive. However, it is clearly seen that the automotive industry is not in its best shape in Dubai now. I would be glad to find out more information for you but I have moved out of Dubai to Singapore a few months ago.
Cheers

Is it normal for the employee to pay for a contract to a given lawyer? Its for a teaching job in Dubai not sure if its legitimate.

This is incredibly helpful, fair play for taking the time to put all this available to future expats. I’m just going through my contract and used this to make notes for what I want to negotiate. It really is “crap-free”
Maybe you can tell me what you think: I’m offered 5000 aed month, with accommodation, meals, transport to work (shuttle).. I’m afraid that might not be enough, if I don’t like the staff housing and want to find my own place (the live-out allowance is 2000 aed month). I’m very tempted, but also scared I’ll have to downsize my lifestyle (currently in northern europe..)
Thanks a million for the help, and for compiling all this info. You should have some donation buttons, or some way we could send some love back

You will be able to live with this much money and probably even save some. But you won’t be able to live a luxury life, that’s a given.
