Yeh, what happened to that thread ?
As Dan said, converting the pay to your home currency and living in clean air, not in a shoebox, and in your home country, the pay probably sounds good.
Sending 2 kids to kindy in DB costs 9k a month, living in DB in a 1/2 decent place will cost upward of 30k/month and then the tax on your 120 odd a month will be close to 20k, starts adding up pretty quick.
As a comparison a KA/CX F/O package ( prior to C scale ) is in the vicinity of 150k a month ( inc 13th month, housing etc ) plus 15% a year, plus schooling etc etc
As with most jobs in HK/China, I'm sure most people will think they know better, take the job regardless of what anybody says, and spend the rest of their days there regretting the decision and whinging on pprune
Good luck
