Hi everyone,
I've just gotten an offer from a Tier 2 firm in Dubai for an Analyst position. I was a bit surprised with the salary as it is much lower than expected (based on Glassdoor numbers). Wanted to check here in case the numbers on Glassdoor are not accurate.
Total salary/month = 18,000 AED
On glassdoor for the same firm, it says it is usually around 22-24K. Is this true or should I go ahead with this?
Here are some of the tings to consider:
Hi there,
The base salary for top consulting companies is normally fixed. It doesn’t make sense for them to offer different salaries for the same seniority as people will talk and obviously get upset if they see a peer got a different offer for the same position/seniority.
What you can normally negotiate is:
Possibly that’s the reason you may find differences with other salaries online.
If you want to negotiate, you normally need a counteroffer from another company to have some negotiating power.
Hope this helps,
Francesco
Hi there,
Can you confirm which Tier 2?
Can you also confirm other comp figures (i.e. annual bonus, sign-on bonus, etc.).
Glassdoor is not the most accurate - you need to google a bit more (normally managementconsulted has good figures)
Hi - current tier 2 consultant in Dubai here.
Which firm is the offer for?
There is quite a bit of fluctuation between analyst salaries for tier 2s in Dubai, so the salary you have been given seems about right for some firms but definitely low for others.
Hi - Any idea what Roland Berger offers for an entry-level role?
That's good to hear. Would prefer to not mention the company's name for privacy reasons. Which firms tend to be at the higher side / lower side of the spectrum?
Low for OW & Kearney, right for RB & Strategy&
Hi!
Does the Glassdoor figure refer to the same total compensation amount (i.e. salary, bonus, etc.)?

I've seen and experienced a similar situation at a more senior position, could you confirm that you receive a fair number of benefits (housing, expenses, retirement contribution etc.) ?
The more senior you get the tighter the gap becomes but you will have to talk to either your referee or HR if you don't have the aforementioned benefits.
