1) Average Cost of Studio apartment. My office will be at Al Quoz. I don't mind travelling a little father, being in Sales. I need a some privacy. ----  6000 dhs/month

2) How much will be the utility cost per month ----- 500 - 600 dhs /month

3) I am married, so would be making daily calls to India. No plans to bring my family as of now. Average monthly cost. ---- depending how much you talk but expect 1500 dhs/month

4) Average Indian Food cost 3 times per month. Please also tell me how much will it cost if I cook at home as well as in mess, if that is available in Dubai. --  you eat out around 1500dhs/month, you cook around 1000/month

6) Any other cost I should be considering in your view --- gas for your car around 500dhs/month , if no car then 2000dhs/month by taxi, by metro and bus around 800 dhs

5) Any idea what is the average salary offered to Indian Elevator Sales Engineer. Here I am paid 60000 /- INR per month. I have 3 years of elevator sales experience and 10 years overall.  --

6) In your view what is the minimum best salary in Dubai for an average lifestyle with a saving potential of AED 6000 - Savings per month. This is for me to negotiate the offer.

over all, if your offer is not around 15000 dhs/month and above, and you need all above, then you better stay wherever you are

good luck

Thanks for the information

but the cost of accommodation is too much. What i could understand is the average studio apartment cost anywhere around 3500 pm.

how about a little distance with a travel time of 1 hour.

please help, i think the company will not be ready to offer anything above 11000 aed

thanks
