Dubai Forums Dubai Expat Forums Working in Dubai

Hi All,
I am from Mumbai
I am a bachelor with 3 years of overall IT work experience, I am being offered a pay package of 15kAED per month
which they say is a CTC . (includes everything i guess)

Currently i am working in one of worlds largest IT company and it pays Rs 30k per mnth, So my shifting wud be purely based on money factor..currency values

Would be grateful if u can guide me if this much is enough for my stay and saving
My Salary negotiation round is yest to happen..so guys please chip in

Thanks in Advance

God Bless!!

It is an 'Ok' salary - considering your bachelor status & years of experience.

But if you have a recent plan for marriage, then re-consider. You cannot expect a regular salary hike here like in India.



Do not consider current exchange rate as the current INR value is bad against dollers. Consider 11.5 INR x 15,000 AED

Thanks Nineth Sense. I would reconsider it definitely
What do you think how much should i quote...like 20K-25k is good??

Any idea...how IT work culture or office culture is...

Thanks for replying..

I cannot quote without knowing your exact qualities.



Regarding IT work, IT in Middle East = System Administration. Usually programming related jobs do not have much 'luxury' like the one you enjoy in India

you are lucky

this is a good pakage indeed..i think IT ppl get less here.. if a s/w testing personel with 5 years exp. gets an offer here..how much should they ask guys?
