From California, on a 156K US yearly salary before tax. My package totals 31K / month + 50K / year for kids' school allowance and the other flights / PTO perks.
Given the cost of living difference between Los Angeles and Abu Dhabi will I be able to maintain the same lifestyle?
Need to sign (or not for that matter) my LOI in the next 3 days, any urgent help would be greatly appreciated

I have no idea about the job you are going to do and your qualifications but 5500 is not a lot and especially without accommodation.聽 You are looking at room sharing and cooking at home.

Do you have medical insurance or not?

Even on a bare minimum budget with no eating out, no night outs, not too much spend on clothes / cosmetics; to save anything at a decent level will be a challenge.

It's all relative to lifestyle.聽 Movie, pop corn and a taxi can set you back 60-70 AED for a single event.聽 Two drinks at a relatively decent place for around 100.聽 And I won't even go into clothes and cosmetics for women!!
