Q: Currently i draw a salary of 10 lakhs p.a in bangalore. I have an offer of AED 19500 in abu dhabi in an IT company. 1) I would like to know the general expenses for a married couple in abu dhabi and if this would be a good move financially? 2) what is the house rent for a 1BHK apartment in Abu dhabi? 3) what is duration for getting a car license in abu dhabi?
A: If you are saving less than Rs.40K per month in Banglore then you can consider the move. A 1BHK should be about AED80K per year. Getting a car license in Abu Dhabi takes a long time but taxi is very affordable (unlike Dubai). Does your company pay for the air tickets (single or double) for travel to India once a year?
