If you have no outstanding loans/mortgages in your home country then AED32k/month should be reasonable living. Depending on where your work will be and where you want to live you'd prob want to budget around 120k/annum for a villa - guessing u'd go down this avenue as you are coming from the land wh...

What also brought it home to me was when I bought my car. I was told by our Indian male secretaries that they could have bought 4 large houses with the same money, in a pretty good neighbourhood in India. I actually felt embarrassed! Ditto...

Simpsons - when they had to go into protective custody and change their identity. FBI dude keeps telling Homer his new identity and tries to talk to him, after a few times H nudges another FBI guy and whispers "I think he's talking to you..." classic.

I know Emirates provides accomodation for all the crew and all the senior staff get some sort of housing allowance built into their salaries, so you really need to look into that.

No, not all charge the same account keeping fees. The amount of the fee and whether you have to actually pay it depends on which account you choose and whether your company has corporate banking arangements. Some banks have a grace period after opening the account where by if you do not deposit/tran...

If you opened your account without a deposit and do not deposit within a certain period after opening the account becomes inactive - basically closed. If you deposit and use up the $$$ in your account and it comes time to debit the fee then the fee will still be debited and your account will be in a...

Can't really comment on 'prospective future' when theres no info regarding your qualifications nor line of work.

That said you've been offered a move here so as long as you take care of the T&Cs you'll find most of those points are covered.

If you meant 'wire' as in T/T thats available with any other bank out there. If you're asking whether your HSBC accounts would be linked globally its not applicable to all countries.

The problem you would face is that there are plenty of Indians here who would be as good if not better in support roles and they would cost a lot less. To give you an idea of what your salary range would be on a local package here I have a Syrian guy and he's drawing around AED5k/mth (GBP 750). If y...

By Civil/Construction do you mean as an engineer? If so, next question - what's ur nationality? AFAIK most of these jobs tends to go to more educated west asians (Indians etc) who are given modifed packages - somewhere between local package and expat package.

Ditto to Chocco. Small cars with no guts would not be my first choice, especially on these roads. Toyotas (in general) are a cheap, efficient and reliable car. Would look past the XA and echo - XA built on echo platform. Corolla would be the bottom of the line. Jazz and Civic are comparable from the...
