For curiosity, I just run a Dubai vs Berlin cost-of-living comparison in Numbeo and I think housing is the factor that makes Berlin cheaper than Dubai (about 50% less).
In my opinion, Berlin is a much better place (even with that weather) than Dubai except if you are Java engineer with interest in banking apps like Murex/Calypso/etc. If that's your case, stay in Dubai or switch to Singapore in the next 2-4 years. After that period, you can fly to whenever you like in Europe working in the bank and place you want.
- kowdermeister 9y agoNumbeo is an important site to keep in mind. It really makes a difference in decision making what the goals are :) Berlin is an interesting, exciting city with lots of potential. I have a friend who lived in Dubai for 10 years and he now moves back to Hungary. Another friend left Dubai after a few months, he said that place is nuts.
