| With all the recent articles it got me wondering, if you don't mind sharing, how much of a raise if any did you get last year? Did it involve jumping ship (changing jobs). I'm surprised that the average raise was 15%, I would have guessed lower. Thanks in advance for your input. http://www.gulfnews.com/business/General/10105342.html http://www.emiratestodayonline.com/ArticleText.aspx?article=19_02_2007_013_016 http://www.emiratestodayonline.com/ArticleImageEx.aspx?article=19_02_2007_013_014_001&type=2 |

| Yeah right, in which sectors? I've been here nearly 4 years and never had a raise. |

the third link breaks it down by industry, I'd guess the closest to what you would do is Public Relations?? the average for PR was 14.05% I'm with you though, I'm lucky I did get a pretty good raise last year as my contract came up for renewal but most of the people I know weren't as fortunate that is why I was surprised that the numbers were as high as claimed. We'll see how everyone else responds in this poll. |

| Does changing job and getting raise from one country to another country count? Or only within Dubai? For the last 3 jobs (3 countries), I stayed no more than 12-18 months each. Not because I like moving around (basically I'm loyal), but because the condition were not good or the project was cancelled ;) Jumping jobs would be the faster way to get a raise and better position/title. But don't jump too much (like me), stay at least 2-3 years first. It's not that good on CV. |

| By the way, is annual raise common in Dubai? Is it in the govt regulation (say at least same as inflation if any) or only company can decide? |
