Hey fishes,


I need help with the following details :

I am working in indian fintech.
CTC = 40 Lakhs
Savings post expenses = 1.6 lakhs

As I am looking for opportunities primarily in dubai & I would really appreciate if I can know the break even number in terms of salary adjusted for cost of living.

I am a family of 2 now and expecting a kid.

Would be great if the community can help with a realistic expense estimate - let's say I am a moderate spender.

Hi, from my research You will need about 7-9k AED/Month for your expenses.
(This includes your monthly rent/utility expenses + some buffer for occassional vacations).

Anything you earn beyond 7k falls into the potential savings bucket.

Anything around 20K AED is something that you can go for

I was promoted to manager in Jan but received an offer with a 35% salary increase and much cheaper health insurance outside the firm. I am 85% sure I’ll take the offer, but wanted to see if anyone could think of acting I may be missing out on by leaving? FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA. I think what is holding me back is my guilt for my immediate team but just want to check.
