Re: Question for US citizens living and working in Dubai

Thanks a bunch, your replies confirm my thoughts that the offer is low. The argument that the 60% portion is below the $100k threshold is not tenable.

Should I try to have them increase the total offer by 40% or is it a waste of time at this point?
