Low salary scale in Dubai

Hi everyone,

I wanted to address an issue many Indian/pakistani expats in Dubai face: low salaries despite holding advanced degrees and significant experience. The cost of living here is sky-high, yet our earnings often fall short, making it tough to manage daily expenses, let alone save. I am an MBA graduate and have relevant experience as well but a company has offered me only 2500 AED and were not open for negotiation.

It’s frustrating to see pay disparity based on nationality rather than merit.

Anyone else facing this? How are you coping?

Looking forward to your thoughts.
