Not great to be honest, I've also been looking for a few months. Hoping also to get some advice here if anyone can support.

@a.mr93 2 hours ago

Keep looking there are many opportunities. Make sure you are well-presented on LinkedIn and that you have a portfolio of projects to show. Use your previous contacts, tell everyone that you are looking. Many jobs are advertised and come thru references. Its a bit harder than before but not impossible, good luck

Project manager at a flooring company, is fixed monthly pay even the norm or should I be asking for a different structure?

Hi! I'm managing installation projects (vinyl, laminate, some epoxy) for a flooring company, currently on 13k/month fixed with 8 years experience. Curious if fi… Show more

@hassan92 11 hours ago

13k feels reasonable though, regardless of pay structure. But its worth asking around at other flooring companies.

@Hana.B 5 hours ago

Fixed monthly is actually more common than people think in flooring/installation companies, commission is more typical for sales roles not project management ones.

@G.sonny 12 hours ago

Hello friend I think you're in the average range right now although that doesn't mean you can't increase your pay. I've spent a lot of years in this field and have a fairly good idea of salaries for procurement. Best advice I could give is try to cover more responsibilities in your current role such as finance or project managment, as procurement differs a lot from one company to another and its good to be prepared for were your next role lands you. Best of luck

10 years in architecture and still figuring out what "fair pay" looks like

Hey everyone! I thought I might join in on these salary discussions, never hurts to learn from others!

I'm an architect with a consultancy on 17k currently. My… Show more

@k.osei 12 hours ago

I hit 17k at year 8 so you might want to renegotiate, but I was also doing a lot of client facing work which tends to pay more.

@t.reyes_dxb 9 hours ago

This is such a valid question because architecture salaries here are all over the place compared to somewhere like the UK or even Saudi.

@Arch.Priya 3 hours ago

17k after 10 years at a consultancy sounds about right honestly, maybe even slightly above depending on the consultancy size.

@Tamim_sr.architect 15 hours ago

We outsourced procurement 18 months ago. It freed up significant capacity but you share the margin. We now do a hybrid, keep procurement for key statement pieces where the client relationship matters, outsource the volume items. Worth testing on one project first.

Just started job hunting as a PM in fit-out with 6 years experience, trying to benchmark what I should be asking for?

@H.Abdulrehman 3 hours ago

11k for 6 yrs managing multiple sites is low ngl. I was at 14k with similar experience 2 years ago and that was considered mid-range even then.

@quietquitter_dxb 3 hours ago

Interviews are the best place to actually find this out honestly, recruiters will tell you real numbers once they see your CV.

@im.still.on.site 3 hours ago

Make sure you're comparing apples to apples. Some "PM" titles here are basically project coordinators with a fancier title lol. But I would say you are on the low side and definitely should try bringing up your pay.

Material markup for clients... what percentage are you adding

Hi everyone
Curious what others are charging. I currently add 15% on top of supplier pricing for materials I procure on behalf of clients. A colleague told me … Show more

@Omar_designs 13 hours ago

15% is too low for the work involved in procurement. I charge 20% as standard, written into the contract. High-end clients sometimes negotiate to 18% but I rarely go below that. Hope that helps you.

@syed_projectmanager 5 hours ago

Hi, that's an interesting question. But I feel impossible to answer without more context... all depends on the project and budget. Sometimes we even not put any percentage if we need the work :)
