EK job....What to do?

Well, I was successful with my interview at EK. I was offered a class this summer on the A330. I'm very excited about it, but unsure if it's the best choice. Everyone keeps saying that you won't save money and you'll be gone all the time. But, I've been told the average A330 trips are better than the 777's because the 330's trip days are around 2-4 day trips instead of the 7-9 day trips on the Boeing. Also, there's a good chance for a quick upgrade since the A380 is coming and there will probably be some movement. But, with the inflation in Dubai, I'm starting to think life could be unaffordable on FO pay. If EK is paying for my rent, that's money that I wouldn't have in the US, so I guess it averages itself out. Any help from ANYONE about what's the best choice or opinions on money or the A330 or Dubai.....please PM me. I've got some big decisions to make and I'm all over the map right now. I have no idea what to make of all this. Thanks
