Question

What is the best / well compensated job in Dubai?

Answer 1

Being the wife of the sultan.

Answer 2

Likely project management for the big resort they are building.

Answer 3

Aeronautical Engineers, Senior Project Managers, Chief Engineers besides Jobs in the high management of any Dubai projects.

The above mentioned group makes up to Dhs 636 monthly basic salary tax free + paid rent + furniture allowance (every 3 years) + transportation + 1 flight home yearly + school fees and (sometimes)grocery allowance and paid phone.

Without being racist, this are the salaries for Westerners hired aboard.

Asians and other Nationalities will receive around 15% - 20% less (with rare exemptions)

In general you can say that the highest salaries for expats in the UAE will be paid for Westerners who meet the high demand and qualifications in fields which can not be filled in by UAE Nationals. At least not yet.

Take care.

Answer 4

Banking without a doubt. Bankers and Financial controllers are the best paid. In the engineering field, you do hit a ceiling and there could be a lot of hierarchy. The hospitality sector is double-edged. At the lower end, salaries are ridiculously low and at the top, there are no limits.

Doctors get well paid, especially if they have a western degree. But like in most other countries, a s*x worker makes more money than an engineer.

To each his / her own....
