Is that because companies based in Dubai have to pay higher salaries in order to attract people from other parts of the world in order to work here? Don't you mean "there"? :-) You're not coming after me, are you? Oops! I gave my plan away. Companies in Dubai pay as little as possible to attract employees. It is totally, totally capitalistic. The "minimum wage", as it were, is usually set by the government of the country which delivers the worker. For example, the Philippines recently changed the law and refused to do their part of the paperwork for an employment visa for Philippina maids unless the employment contract has salary of at least $400 per month (used to be $200). As a result Dubai will likely look to Eqypt/Lebanon/Sri Lanka/Indonesia where they can still get maids for $200 per month. No I meant people at your level. What does it take to entice someone at your level to move to Dubai?
