No joke, it depends on your passport.

:( Any numbers you can throw at me? Need a ballpark because I think I'm being offered lower than the industry standard

Umm this is kind of a shot in the dark based on my short time there (I think it might be on the high end) but better than nothing.

Junior Copywriter 15k-20k
Copywriter 21k-25k
Senior Copywriter 26k-35k

My salary and the salary of the few people I knew fit into this. Big name agency.

What, 26k-35k? Which agencies? I don't know any Senior Copywriter or Art Director making more than 25k. Only ACD.

Anyone hiring out there?

no :(

I started working there in 2010 with 2 years experience at 20k aed/month. I assume that would be higher now. And like someone else said, it depends on the passport. Keep negotiating though. There’s always money.

Many agencies are open to hiring remotely now because of COVID-19 (especially those not in major cities). I would do some research and try to get a remote gig.

Obviously way more than I'd make if I stayed at KPMG for busy season.
