The salary report for my industry is quite misleading IMO. The report lists the high end limit for my position as xx,xxx but I'm earning more than that yet am firmly in the average bracket at my company. Before you say that my company is an anomaly, can I just point out that my colleagues at other firms earn the same as I do.

Very informative, thanks.

It seems the salary level in UAE is much higher than the Western world in general.

Maybe that's why so many of them roam this forum and is crowding our brotherly country with their.

Yeah I heard hookers out here earn more than your typical CEO out in Bangladesh.

The figures are way off mark in my industry too. The range in the doc is narrowed down. The lows can be as much as 50% lower and the highs - 50% higher. They do say that "figures may deviate from company to company" but surely not this much difference.

@Andrewg:
Thanks for posting those documents.
I am surprised that this did not cause more discussion and replies, you would think everyone wants to talk about money and income and how to get more. I think it would get more views if posted in the general category.

@zzzane and @michaeldubai:
When you say that the charts do not reflect the true amounts, by approx 50% are you saying that the salary should be 50% higher than what is listed, for example under the chart for Consumer Banking the CEO is paid upper range of 150,000 but in reality it should be closer or higher than 150,000 + 75,000= 195,000 or higher, perhaps even approaching 250,000?

Does anyone have statistics for health care professionals such as surgeons?
I am curious to compare salaries or pay.

Thanks

That sounds like a good idea. No one is going to post their own salary but friend's salaries should give people a good idea.


Engineering Manager (Software) (3 staff under him): 42,000 / month - Australian

Coffee Boy/Office Boy: 1200 / month + accom - Filipino
Captain Australia
