Salary ranges can literally be anything, depends what industry you work in, what qualifications you have and sadly in many cases what nationality you are.

Hi there,
Would appreciate any links to sites for Expat Salary Ranges or similiar info sites. Particular to working in Dubai as an Expat (Civil/Construction)
Thanks in Advance

By Civil/Construction do you mean as an engineer? If so, next question - what's ur nationality? AFAIK most of these jobs tends to go to more educated west asians (Indians etc) who are given modifed packages - somewhere between local package and expat package.

i work for a construction firm, yes the salary range depends on your nationality. it is a fact that i came to accept.

Thanks Guys, abit more info:
I am an Australian Citizen, position would be along a site managers role on the new LRT for an International construction company. I am a "specialist in my field of construction > very experienced"
thanks in advance for any more info!

A fellow Aussie... oi oi oi!
I would suspect your field would be very 'specialized' and any expat offering would be via the company you work for. From a corporate perspective I doubt it would be value adding to advertise such a role via a website - hence the apparent lack of them.
Should be safe to say mnc construction companies would offer such posts, if any, to internal candidates. I guess you would be wiser on this, as you are the specialist in your field...
Btw... LRT - light rail transit?

I am an IT Professional with MCSE Messaging (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) and CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) and CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional). Besides I have my Masters Degree in Information Technology MSc (IT). I am an Indian. How much can I expect as my salary package in Dubai? I recently saw a news item in gulfnews online newspaper. It says 87% of the companies in Dubai are having less than 10 employees. What are my chances of a network/internetwork support job?

Salary is more than India - thats a given.
All the stats say is that a majority of registered businesses here are small companies.
