Hi all,
I know that the topic has been touched many times, but please do advise if you can.
I'm coming to Dubai (from the UK) with my partner in two weeks time to look for jobs. Myself, have secured an interview already with an international Co. in the Legal industry (am master's graduate in Law), but also have a good mixture of commercial experience, i.e. Banking, Asset Mgmt (3 yrs in total). Speak a few languages also.
I will however try to go for jobs in other industries such as Banking and Finance, Investments, Consultancy (applying mainly for Multinationals) as my experience will allow me to.
The only problem is that I have no idea as to how much salary/package one with my profile should really expect to get in Dubai. We've researched intensively on the web, but it seems to vary from one industry to another...
I can appreciate this aspect, however I would have much preferred to have some clues to guide us through this process... So that I know at least what is considered 'low' and what is considered 'reasonable'...
Anyways, I will be definitely asking for enough housing allowance as we know about the in sane rental prices there+utilities+medical care+return tickets ...
But what salary would be reasonable to expect?? I know that nobody can give an exact answer as this depends on many factors...
I was thinking however that a basic salary of UAE15000/m (without benefits) would be ok to start with...?? Or is that too low..??!
Would very grateful for your opinion guys. Thanks a lot.
