Firstly, not looking for a pros and cons of the Middle East discussion - I know it's not popular on MN but we've lived in a few expat locations and are looking towards Abu Dhabi or Dubai. It would be a long stint probably, As DD is coming up for 10 and we don't want to move her during secondary.
Grateful for any 1st hand experience on what kind of salary to target. School fees will be covered, and there will be a contribution towards accommodation, but what sort of salary would we be looking it to have a comfortable life? How expensive are utility bills and running a car? We have 2 DC and will both be working although it might take DH a few months to find work.
