I'm a Canadian citizen and wanted to move to dubai. What would you say is a par salary for me there. I'm a data scientist earning 150k CAD in Canada. In Data domain. My wife will also work(also in Data domain), but for now thinking of moving myself first. Based on my research- COL in Dubai - 25-35k AED/month (2BHK +maid ) for family of 2. Household TC -220k
It's not the salary but the amenities like free housing (with utilities) your employer provides. Many will give a car with driver and free private school as well. Low salary + free housing + free car + free private school is the real TC
Ya, true that. Can we put a ballpark as to what wud be an equivalent salary for maintaining same Quality of life in Dubai vs Canada. 150k -> 40k AED/month ?
If your employer provides free private school. Is that taxable ?? I’m talking about a USA citizen who still has to pay taxes to USA. I know Dubai has no taxes but I still gotta pay Uncle Sam
Hey OP. Curious. Why are you moving to Dubai? I'm a 🇨🇦 citizen too however Dubai is far fetched. Singapore still makes sense but Dubai is something else.
Interesting.Haven't considered Singapore. What are the pros ?
Better weather, well educated progressive overall. Tech hub etc. Good schools. Not hierarchical or discriminatory like UAE.
Also are you a Canadian citizen of Canadian origin? If you’re of South Asian heritage and don’t have a Canadian accent you’ll be lowballed.
What is your YoE? I'm in the same boat here but planning to move after 4-5 years. I would look at both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. If I were you, I would pay UAE a visit if I have never been there before to explore first.
Yup. Doing that next year. How did you come up with the idea - any friends living there ?
I'm also Canadian SDE and I'm interviewing at multiple companies in dubai and Doha. I'm expecting a bit less on TC but that will be covered easily with the tax savings. TC 220 CAD
Can I dm you ?
I’m trying to find a job for my wife. I am in Dubai, she is Pakistani but I am a us citizen, we decided Dubai is a good central as I can go work in the Dubai branch of my office and my leaders don’t mind me going . We have two weeks left and I don’t want her going back in the hellhole right now. Any advice how @op is doing it would help !
Been in dubai nearly 10 years. Originally from the U.K. and you need about 40k minimum for “western” lifestyle in Dubai. It’s a great place, safe, clean and decent schools.
Amazon hiring in Dubai?
Sure. Let me ask my Dad
Hi, what did you end up doing? can I DM you
Now that's what I call climate change
