Introduction

Hi, I am currently a working mother of two, I am a (snr mgr) with a larger team / pressurised role. So when my husband was approached by a firm based in the UAE and then offered the position we certainly were willing to look at this as an opportunity for us to stop juggling things with us both working fulltime and trying to raise a young family. The role was to be based in Dubai, so after my husband and I did much soul searching on this including us having a very brief trip out to Dubai we agreed that even with two small children and the fact that I would have to get up a well paid job in the UK it would be a great adventure / opportunity for us. Dubai seemed like a fantastic place for us to live - so my husband accepted this post, however we have just been advised that this role is now not likely to be based in Dubai but in Abu Dhabi - which is not what we have researched in terms of houses / schools / ex-pat community etc, so we are very concerned now about this no longer being the best move for us as the houses and other costs seem far higher and now unsure of this, so any advice on this would be massively appreciated.

I joined expat.com on 01 January 2012.
