Hi Guys

I am a newbie on this and would appreciate some advice and info on job searches.

I have moved to Abu Dhabi with my wife who is working as a doctor, we have accommodation and transport provided.

I am looking for a job in the IT sector as a IT Support analyst in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, ideally in Abu Dhabi. What is a reasonable salary I should be aiming for?

Also does anyone have any contacts which they are willing to share so I can speak to people directly? I have been looking online for jobs and it is pretty crazy with some job vacancies getting up to 1000+ applicants

Thanks

Hi and welcome.

There's a similar question on another section of this Board. Whilst I'm no expert on IT, I do know that nearly all of the IT people I've come across in over 8 years in ME, are from the East. Mainly Indian / Pakistani/ Philippines nationality. Henceforth, the salaries are pretty low compared to what a Western expat would look for.

We've just recruited an 'expert' ERP guy, basic was coming in at 20K SR. General IT support will be around 5-7k monthly, Senior Systems Analysts would only be around 15k tops and that would be for other Arab nationalities.

Good luck.

Thank you for that information

What is the best way to apply for jobs out here?
