Q:
A: In the next 3 years - you'll earned something that will suffice your needs within Dubai but I doubt you will be able to save. The first 2 to 3 years (beginning of your contract) will be break-even life for an individual and once you have that "Dubai" experience - then employers will get notice of you and eventually will start to give you an offer which will reflect the true Dubai cost of living. Goodluck !
