Hello friends

I would like to ask your help, I'm from Costa Rica and this is  the first time I receive an offer as expat, and more even from as far as Dubai.

The offer is to work in a company called Al Tayer, at Dubai, as IT manager having some people reporting to me,  which consists of the following:

- $ 45,000 - $ 50,000 monthly EAD (50% wage - 50% allowances)Note: This mix still being confuse to me.
- Corporate health-insurance for me and my family
- Vehicle
- between 40K and 60K annual bonus
- annually flights for the whole family to visit Costa Rica
- Relocation costs
- 30 holiday days a year
- Life Insurance
- Initial hosting -1 months (can be extended to 2)
- EAD-15K allowance for furniture and related topics


Honestly I have many doubts, questions, such as:

-Is this salary, poor, fair, good, excellent, based on the cost of living in Dubai? and to finally have good savings.

-Does are theBenefits acceptable?

-My children,  (6 and 3 years olds) do not speak English, as most just learning at school and I worry they can have some issues at school there.

- The rent cost topic worries me, as I understand it is expensive and in my case I want my family be comfortable, nothing to live in one room, but everyone has their own, which would be 3 rooms + common areas, besides be located in a very safe place.

-The religious theme, how it is handled there? how closed or open is the local culture in this topic? we are Catholic.

-Finally, there are Costa Ricans over there?

These are not all my concerns, I have many more but I need a cool head and the necesasry information to take decisions!

Thank all for your help

Regards from Costa Rica
