Hello everyone,

I just got a job offer as an X-Ray Tech in Abu Dhabi. Here is the breakdown of the salary package offered to me:

Monthly Basic Salary: 4125 AED
Monthly Supplementary Allowance: 1375 AED
Monthly Accommodation Allowance: 2500 AED
Total Monthly Compensation: [b]8000 AED[b]

Since I am single and have no plans to marry in the near future, the benefit covers mobilization/demobilization cost, visa cost and health insurance.

Supplementary allowance according to the terms and conditions covers educational allowance, transportation allowance, annual flights and others.

Should I accept or decline the job offer?

Thank you.

One piece of advice that I always tell my friend planning to work abroad:聽 make sure the company will cover all the recruitment/mobilisation expenses:聽 airfare, visa processing, medical examinations, hotel when you reach your destination, etc.聽 If a company can pay these expenses, they can pay your salary.聽 If in case they ask you to pay one item in the list, re-think about your decision.

Re the salary offered to you:聽
4,000 is a bit small (well, it really depends on your experience).
Housing is just enough if you're willing to share a house with strangers (a room in a three-room apartment costs 2,500).聽
Assumingly 1,300+ would go to your food and transport which is a bit small.

I suggest you try online applications to various companies and recruitment websites.聽 Most of the people I know got hired through online applications.

My piece of advice:聽 Don't stop.聽 Couple it with prayers.聽 Get connected to other people (Linked In, for example).

Thank you for the advice. I might go through that route as well.
