What's a breakdown of the basic living costs like?

Rent
Food
Transport
Data/Internet

From what you are saying, I figure a more realistic salary estimate is within 1k-3k AED range for a Nigerian

justi4jesu:



You can't travel with Naira, go with Dollars. Yes visit your bank and authorize them to increase your spending limit.

samhay:


Those of us here already, how do we increase spending limit. Can some1 do it on our behalf.

If ATM wit me expires, is dia a way to gt anoda tru sombody.

justi4jesu:



You can do it yourself both the spending limit and ATM.

samhay:


From UAE? How please

samhay:
Some tyms answers r needed urgently to some questions. Justi check ur pm. By the way wia is @monchou?

ken1982:
A more realistic salary range for taxi drivers and security guards you mean...not professional job seekers...

Actually i hear the taxi guys get around 4k aed when they do not hv fines and really hustle for the month...but those guys hardly rest...i feel for them alot and respect them

Toby77:


I meant entry level professional job seekers. Someone with UK masters plus 2-3 yrs naija work experience isn't looking for menial work as a target

samhay:
Some tyms answers r needed urgently to some questions. Justi check ur pm. By the way wia is @monchou?

ken1982:
We are saying the same thing. For someone looking for a job with UK masters you will not be offered 2k aed...probably4-5k or so as a fresher in UAE, except where you are desperate to land a job and you accept any possible offer tabled.

frostmate:


UK masters with 2-3 years should be getting more. It might also depend on what you are ready to settle for, field of work..

ken1982:
tHANKS FROSTMATE...I REMOVED THE POST COS I DONT WANT RESPONSES ANYMORE..I FEEL THE QUESTIONS DOES NOT NEED TO BE HERE

THANKS THOUGH

Madam am working
Stop painting this work , as if its gold. We all know the truth, please stop the pretence.
I wont decieve my fellow nigerians.
Anyone who has the finance to buy residence , should do so.

ken1982:
Bro i cannot access very well...UAE is a funny place. All you need to do is pray...funny as it sounds. Infact to be honest for UAE prayer is faster than any other method.

Going to more intellectual things...Based on experience and qualifications i would say you have a good chance but u will still be payed a fresher salary based on UAE experience..around 5-8 k depending on the company. Then you have to be selected from the long list of job seekers as qualified as you are. Then you have to consider that Indians run UAE...they practically control HR departments so if a manager or CEO is not personally selecting and doesn't hv special preference for his kinsmen and he is open minded then you are good to go.

Now also consider this...

But i like to think that engineering jobs are available here far more than safety jobs

Why not include Managers in UAE from your linkedin search and form a relationship...also try and secure a 3 months visa before coming. Then search for small companies that do contract jobs for big companies rather than search for big companies cos usually for big companies selection process takes time...for engineer jobs am quite sure you will find alot being advertised online.
@ken1982, Thanks, will PM u later 4 further discussion.
