Teaching Couple in UAE

What's the best way to maximise our allowances?

We currently work in the same school but would we be better off working in different schools and therefore getting more allowances? Flights housing etc

We're also not legally married so wondered what's the best way to navigate this. I'm not after a moral lesson - as far as I see it the private companies are there to be exploited legally just like the staff are.

I'm in Thailand and I'm a year into my 2yr contract. I've been offered a promotion at another school nearby. Should I cut short my current contract? Currently a teacher but this promotion takes me to assistant head. My current school is fine, I'm happy at it but obviously this would be a step up for me.

Legally I can work my notice period but will having a record of not completing a contract look bad for the future? Obviously everyone knows everyone on the international circuit. Would this move, although good on paper, be bad in the long run because of not completing my contract. Thanks in advance everyone.

So the question for the poll is "should I leave my current school?"
