I'm currently a EY tax advisory senior (CA exam qualified) for 2.5yrs in the UK (will be on £38k in regional office from October) and have been offered a role at Pwc Dubai at senior level in ITS for £40k but the salary already incorporates the housing allowance. Any idea whether this is a good offer?

I think it’s a fair offer but I would scope out other offers as well

It’s a little trick that they pull on the Middle East Comp packages. Throw in housing into your pay and remind you it’s all tax free and they ‘pay for your housing’ in Dubai… so maybe your base is now £25,000 (tax free so higher net take home pay, I’d think, than your current UK income) and housing is £15,000 which sounds and looks great, but note that the bonus they payout is based on your base pay. So the bonus could be lower (and they save paying out more if a bonus). If I’m on £38,000 and getting a 15% bonus that’s gonna be less on £25,000 (just an illustration and maybe the numbers are not so big but if you stay and they get bigger it could be more of a difference). Hope this helps.

You can always ask … just don’t let on that you know the split and how any bonus is based on the base pay and does not include any items of pay that are called something else (like ‘housing allowance’).

During my interview process I clearly stated my salary expectations of 95k-105k. They came back with an offer at 80k. Is it even possible for us to come closer to a better agreement with them being so low? All other aspects of the job are in line with what I'm looking for, so I really want to make this work.

I recently saw a job opening at a company that I really love, and would like to apply. The recruiter has posted it on her Linkedin several times, each time with multiple hashtags about diversity.
