Most of the time while the salary looks good, the package is questionable. Good salary sometimes ‘hide’ your real compensation needs, because that’s what a normal working person always think of first , that is “salary” only. As an expat your real needs is different, you need a “compensation” first and then benefits.The employer will always leave out something. Don’t ever think they list down all your needs. They basically use a “generic” expat package for you. Do you think they will offer an “ideal” expat package for you.

Interesting article. I agree that most people who become expats don’t think about the costs involve. It’s interesting that UAE has set a minimum monthly salary for people. I wonder if other countries do this as well.

BTW: just because you move to a new country doesn’t mean you won’t face any hardships because you take YOURSELF with you everywhere you go. It’s like people that move from “snowy states” like Michigan or Ohio; if you’re miserable in those states chances are you’ll be miserable in a new state.

Your conversion is a bit off. 10,000 dhs is equivalent to US$2725, not US$1251.
