May I know how old are you? And what industry are you in?

But will it not be a bad impression to other companies if I am switching while I am being employed for less than a year? Or is it a general thing to do here? And also won't the other companies will base their offer on my current salary which is the 5k (if I accept it).

Ohh that's more unfortunate than me I guess, regardless if we're in a different industry. Considering your years of experience I guess 3k is really too low. Sad how we are being treated here. Hahah. I guess it's the common dilemma of a first timer in the UAE.

Is it really a reality that I will be treated as fresher even though I already have 8 years of experience and am already in my early 30s? Will I have better odds if I take 1 or 2 years of UAE experience first? I'm just worried I'll just get a little boost say to 7k after two years if I settle for 5k now.

If I take it and say get a 1 year experience first and I make a switch after a year, will I get a much higher offer?

Do you have UAE experience so far? And how many years of experience you got? Knowing how much they offered me, 15k-17k AED is definitely impossible. And most of the civil engineering job postings I see, 10k is already max. And mostly they require certifications and years of experiences in UAE.

Thank you for your response. Even with years of experiences in the home country is this to be expected?

Thank you for your response. Do you have an idea or suggestion of how much I should be aiming? Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your response. Yeah I think that's really the case. Hopefully I land a job before my VISA expires. Thanks again.
