A question for anyone that works or knows about Abu Dhabi Municipality (ADM)...does anyone know what the salary packages are like working for the ADM? Do they pay quite well compared to private sector? Is it a place you'd recommend as a workplace?

Eva

You speak Arabic?
Which branch of Municipality are you thinking of?

Danajj

No - dont speak the lingo - just know the pleasantries. It's going to be a new team that will have a view across all functions / departments...a bit like a PMO function...

Eva

Hmmmmm, anything that has a vision from one dept to the next and further
and succeeds will be novel that's for sure.Honestly,if you are contracting up then at least you should know/speak the language. Refer back to yr orig Q?
'Municipality'...domain of the homeboys.Most of them speak very good English and of course perfect Arabic.

Eva

So they have Degrees in Archtecture or Maths or Law.....
Great English speakers.....

Danajj

Yes - I know that its the domain of the locals mainly - and it would be a lot easier granted if I spoke the language. Mind you, being the only westerner working at my old employment in Saudi - it didn't hamper me too much. They've contacted me in regards to certain skill-sets they want to bring on board...I'm flying in this weekend to meet them - so I'll make a judgement call from my trusty old gut feel...

shakh your bootie

ADM are expanding at the moment due to the fact that they are taking over the public spaces of a lot of the new developments. They have a lot of Consultants being taken on as they are struggling with the in-house resource.

There is also a lot of politics in play, the locals are normally ok but it is the other Arab nationalities that have been there for years that are feeling somewhat precious with the impending changes.
