Silver,
Ermm yes it does, I posted the info as a follow up to Wizofoz on the basis that I relate everything back to the UK as its where I'm from.
The relevance to this thread is on the basis that the info presented is patently misleading and requires correcting.
With respect to your mathematics, you will note I stated my total income EQUATES.
How did I arrive at this figure? simple, I took my monthly income here at EK, converted it to Sterling and then added the component of Tax and NI I would be paying, I then took the sum total of my housing allowance, added the cost of utilities and medical insurance coverage, and arrived at a pretty conservative number. I then added the 12.5% of company contribution to my basic salary in terms of a provident fund, and inshallah, about 105K GBP would just about cover the same things back home leaving a similar level of disposable income.
I did not make any allowance for school fees or the free company transportation to and from work.
All in all its worth making a valid comparison me thinks, I should also add that on a year on year basis, the cost of living here in the UAE in terms of food, petrol, beer etc etc averages out for me to be very very similar to where I'm from back home.
But of course Silver, dont take my word for it, what would I know anyway?
