Without knowing much about your particular field of work, its hard for me to say what the expected pay range should be.
I think that AED 15,000 per month is too little to live on in Abu Dhabi. But ulitmately it will depend on your lifestyle. Most expats live on expat compunds and you can expect to pay at leave AED 10,000 to 12,000 per month for a 2-bedroom property. If you plan to hire a car you will need to budget around AED 2,500. Public transport in Abu Dhabi is cheap, but not always easy to use. On top of that you also need to budget for health insurance, school fees and food.
