Think on those lines, if u r lookin at a foreign job then join in....

Thanks Venky for replying,

I will get about 3.5 to 4 lacs p.a. as agency Manager.

Yes I would love to for a foreign job, but probably Dubai is not the destination I would love to eye towards.

Regards

I am a s/w engineer just like every tom **** n harry...I m havin a pay package of 4 LAKHS(Why i m quotin this ull come to know as ull read the entire message).
newayz had enough of introduction there are few valid points on which i wud like to draw everyones attention
and start debate and wud definately like some intelligent comments from current students......

1.After 2 years of work experience MBA shud be ceen more from the ROI perspective.yes/no)

2 If Yes{
Total fees AED 88450
= INR 1061400
Laptop = 50000
Airfair = 40000
Living expenses(Food n all) = 150000
-----------------------------------------------
Total = 1301400
*Ok agreed u are expected to have savings of some 2-3 odd lakhs then u have got two choices
Choice a.Ask ur dad for 1100000(My conscience don allow me to)
Choice b.Go for education loan(rate of interest 11%)
|
|IF Loan{
|Var Principle = 1100000
|Var rate of interest = 11%
|EMI = 19453.07
| }
|
|ElSE dads money{

}

Ok had enough of algorithm the points i would like to raise are

1.If the institute is boasting avegare salary of 8 lakhs INR that means 66666.66 Rs a months...fair enough.

And y cant u survive in dubai for that pay???? Have u ever been to dubai buddy???
4000 AED is a decent amount of money in dubai....wot do u expect??? that once u pass out u wud get late Shaik Zayed's palace to live in??

Anyways...u r only looking at the smaller picture....its not like u will b stuck in the same position all ur life....so a start I think that kinda money is awesome.Plus Dubai is completely tax-free so wotever u earn goes straight to your pocket.....now aint that something.

Look at the bigger picture buddy....given the number of companies in Dubai....u career could rocket....given u have the potential that is.
Also do consider that there isnt cut throat competion in dubai for quality jobs as here in india. I have been there and I can tell you for sure that it is much easier for a well qualified man to land a decent job in dubai. Plus now with the no-ban rule in...u could always change companies at will.

I guess the right way to ask would be....would 4000 AED be sufficient to survive in dubai?

murtuza.... donno when u last visited/worked in dubai... but
(1) by no means 4000 is a survivable* salary in dubai.... u will b spending 1500/3000 AED (single/married) on house rent ....dont want to get into furthur calculations...i hope the picture is clear...
(2) agree with u here ...but keep in mind point (3)
(3) that rule is still there ...not the same but a twisted version...

*if u want a decent life style.... why the hell are we doing MBA for if not this....

ps: if u just want to survive then i guess 4K is sufficient...

Well Dude...if u r just doing MBA to live a decent lifestyle, I think u r better off without it. A person can live a decent lifestyle in any profession. If thats ur only reason of doing it, thats sad.
And as I said....do not b short sighted when it comes to making career decisions....look at the bigger picture....think where an MBA from a good university can take u.Sadly I see ppl looking at short term gains here.

Pop Quiz:

What's similar between a successful professional and Rome??

A. Neither were built in a day.

MBA is just a degree not a magic wand which can change ur fortunes in an instance. Have patience in life.
Money is not everything in life. I am not a figures person but let me tell u this...I still hold by my point that 4000 is a decent amount of money in dubai. I wouldnt mind 4000 cos I would believe in my heart that I have the potential to earn lot more one day.
Learn to look at the bigger picture....short term gains will not get u abywhere in life.

man..i shouldnt have mentioned the life-style thing...and spared u of this little speech.
but i believe what ever we are doing is for a better living. and i think its not sad to make a better living for my self.

and also we were not talking abt our earning potential.. we were just discussing whether 4k is sufficient ...it would have been better if u stayed on the topic... i better get out of here b4 i go off-topic..
