Cost of living and salary package

Hallo all,

I need some information. I have been offered for a project engineer
Mechanical job in hamriyah frer zone.

We are three in our family my wife plus son 4 years.

How much salary package would be sufficient?

That company is just started, I will be the 3rd

Please advice

Thank you

Hamriyah Free Zone is after Sharjah, towards Ajman.  You will probably reside in Sharjah/Ajman area, for convenience of commuting.  Until you obtain your UAE driving license and a vehicle, you will be dependent on your colleagues for transport to and fro work.
AED 12K would be bare minimum, with hardly any significant savings.  Depends on what you get now in India.  Also the employer will have to cover your family for medical insurance, this cost is high here, and so will be school expenses.

Thank you MJRV. I have a school going kid (junior KG)and i am looking for a 1bedroom+hall+kitchen+etc.. how much should i add to 12K. I wish to save a minimum of 6500AED....please give your opinion.
