Is that per month? or per week? If it's monthly it's a bit low, the average is about 5,000 USD per month.

Its per month, I am a fresher and I thought I will get a chance at least

You are literally working for peanuts, look for better jobs on the side while working here. At least your current company is giving you work experience.

The salaries in Dubai are on the low end. Get as much work experience as you can then look for other roles.

I had no idea that Dubai offered such low salaries! Thanks to everyone who's been sharing their knowledge on here. I've been tempted to look for jobs in Dubai because it just seems like a dream place to be in, but I need a job that pays for what my skills require, and I don't think I can find anything like that over there.

To clarify, I don’t have an offer yet, I’m just looking to make a move.

Thank you!

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!

Specifics if you can; CAD tools, simulation, CAD speed or proficiency, industry or standards knowledge, GD&T, certifications, Microsoft Excel, presentation skills, technical writing, project management, self organization, great communication, teaching ability, relationship building, etc.

I've noticed that the engineers keep their mouths shut whenever they're asked for feedback, but when they're alone, they talk about how much they wish they could change management.

Why is that?
