it differs really. Aspects such as one's experience, nationality, company also. There's no standard rates for salary. I dont know if it would help but try browsing the other section for expat help, you might figure out something there.... :roll:

This is discrimination!!!!!!


2800 AED= 762 USD
2800x2=5600 =1,524 USD
european/american 2800x3=8400 =2,286 USD

OK...2000 usd/Month!!! it's less than what a jr web designer makes in the states !It doesn't seem to be an attractive salary at all. ....

Dale, are you a web/graphic designer/multimediator??
where did u get these figures from?

These are just rough figures. Dubai market is weird. Some company can pay you 15k/month for the same job.
It all depends for which company you are working and where you come from plus experience, qualifications.
I know someone who is a SAP engineer and that what he is being paid + accomodation and car
