For salary, how to ensure the salary is fair or not?
I recently joined a company in Dubai as a mechanical design product development engineer. I have 4 years of experience in mechanical design using solidworks and autocad . In the recently joined company, I work on designing tanks and paying simulation using solidworks. Also make development for designs.
I think that the salary AED 5k is little. What is the avg fair salary for my position?

Unfortunately, 5k in Dubai is extremely low. I'm not sure what the rates are for your market but I do know engineering is overly saturated generally.

The good news, Dubai is a fast pace market so the second you get a better offer then take it.

The bad news, unless you were absolutely desperate you played your self by taking the offer and not researching the market before hand.

Good luck.

Only you can determine that

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
