Hi Jorge,

The salary you can expect will depend on your experience and skills, as well as how much competition there is for a position.

Those working in the IT industry earn betwen AED 20,000 and AED 30,000 per month. However, it is important to remember that salaries in the UAE are not as lucrative as they once were, as the government are taking steps towards a policy of emiratisation.

You might find this resource on Expat Salaries in the Middle East quite useful.

Good luck

I have been offered a job as a project manager for a UAE airline. I currently have 17 years experience already in the airline industry and wondered what salary I might be offered? I also have two children and will need to find accommodation and schooling. Any idea? Does anyone have children at GEMS Cambridge or British International Schools that can help?
