Should I relocate to Dubai?

I have received an offer from Dubai with an annual pay of ~265k AED. The company is a small scale Ecom company. I am seriously considering accepting the offer and relocating to Dubai.

Just wanted to know from others is 265k a decent pay or should I try and negotiate for more (I personally don’t think the HRs are open to negotiating anymore based on my initial interactions with them)

Note that I prefer living a modest lifestyle, nothing fancy. As per my research on cost of living, I will be able to save at least 2x more monthly than what I am saving right now being in India with its shitty tax system. Living and working in a foreign country was always something that I wanted to do.

For reference my current pay is INR 34 LPA based out of Bangalore, India.

If you are not married, I'd suggest going. At least for a couple of years. I'm working in Abu Dhabi and the tax relief really helps a lot. But do try and get clarity on accommodation, transport, bills etc. I make ~170k AED but all my bills (wifi, water, electricity, transport) are paid for so it helps. If you have to shell out on rent and bills, then it's a bit low. Considering Dubai is more expensive than Abu Dhabi, you won't be able to have a good social life.

Based on current pay, it is good considering tax save. But if married then choose wisely
