Hey everyone, need some honest advice from people living in Abu Dhabi or who've made a similar move.
My background:
3 years of experience as an AI Engineer
Currently working at a product-based company in India in MNC.
Specializing in agentic AI (building AI agents, RAG, multi-agent systems) also I love doing software and has experience in Devops(Building AI agents for DevOps in current role)
I am currently earning ₹1.28L/month in India and living very comfortably here.
The offer:
Role: Building AI agents for a real estate company in Abu Dhabi
Salary: 13,000 AED/month
My concerns:
Am I being underpaid? Is it good salary? Should I move to UAE?
The company is in real estate, not tech. Will this limit my career growth as an AI engineer?
Is 13k AED enough to live comfortably in Abu Dhabi as a single person and what is the opportunity of savings?
