Car = $7000
Food/services = $14000
Salary = $120K base
Bonus per year 15% of base

I guess it depends on how important you are. Personally, I would love that offer but if you are upper management with a few kids, you might do better.

Hi Sooner,

The information is inadequate.

One needs to evaluate the offer vis-a-vis salaries offered for similar positions in Dubai. One also needs to understand the offer vis-a-vis cost of living

If you could mention the salary component and the position description, someone could give you a fair feedback.

Looks good per se.

If its a large technology organisation, it appears a bit below similar offers but just fine if its a service org like bank or hospitality

Cheers.

psst: Ok....once you get here, make me an offer!! :-)
