Should I move to Dubai?

Have good job here in India, cheap living, able to save.

Offered good job in DXB, EXPENSIVE living from what I'm told, probably won't save much.

I have lived in both places in the past, could care less about indoor skiing or whatever. Just want a stable job where I can save a few bucks.

India in aviation meltdown, but what country isn't. With oil hitting $40 who knows if $30 is next stop. Such a scenario could affect prospects with any job in ME, no?

Interested in your opinions.

Also, how much can I expect to find a 2 BHK apartment for in Dubai in TODAY's market? Salary at new job includes housing paymt, i.e. no villa provided (must find on my own). I hear horror stories of $4000/ mo. but I'm not sure how much of that is hype.

My take on Dubai is that it is a great place IF YOU HAVE MONEY, eg, to enjoy the place you have to spend some coin. Kind of like NYC. Great place to hang if you make $20,000 a month. Otherwise, you really have to watch your money. True?

TIA for any advice.
