Hi Fishes,

I am getting a job offer for an onsite opportunity in Dubai as a Technical Program Manager. My current CTC is 25L, how much do you think I should quote for expected salary to maintain a decent standard of living and save some.

P.S
I have a family and only 1 child, plz consider the cost of education as well.

Okay in the interest of time, here's my reply assuming that you are getting 1.70 lakhs in hand after income tax deduction and PF addition. Companies in GCC are generally not great paymaster. They will offer you something closer to 16-20K AED per month. And if you're living in Dubai with a family of three, and have a sober way of life, all your expenses get covered in the range of 12-15k per month. That includes your child's education, family rent, outing, etc

True that, 20-25 is the range it seems. I have 5 yrs experience got 21k Dirhams, met 2 guys in fishbowl with 10 and 15 yrs experience. They are also getting 20k

How long have you been in this role and when did you get your last hike?

I just replied with my estimate

Min 25k AED PER MONTH

Your good luck if you get 25k AED, but my practical estimate suggests that you won't get anything more than 20k AED. Additionally they might add a performance bonus

Will definitely share the outcome. Thanks guys ☺️

Do ya'll think if I should quote 30K per month?

Exactly..pls don't jeopardize your chances by quoting an exuberant amount. Doing research and quoting something contextually always adds to your image.

Not going through Accenture, it's a different Org. Or should I just ask what they are offering and counter it if anything less than 25K?

Try 25 it's more than median I think.
