8500 salary for architect, 3 yrs exp, working on developer projects. Ok or underpaid?

Hello everyone, hope I can get some support from here.

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

Soooo, I'm managing like 2-3 sites at a time for a fit-out contractor in Al Quoz, on 11k/month. Started looking at other opportunities and want to make sure I'm… Show more

@H.Abdulrehman 14 days 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 14 days ago

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

@S_hesham96 14 days ago

Haha just wanted to comment on the previous response… "recruiters will tell you real numbers?"…. errr, no they won't. It's their job to get you hired for as low as possible, just saying…

@im.still.on.site 14 days 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.

@A.Devraj 15 days ago

Honestly I think you are being paid very well. I know a colleague from a previous company makes around 15K mark and is very well experienced. But of course, if you feel you can earn more then start looking.

@Layla.Interiors 15 days ago

FF&E really is underdiscussed here, most threads are about PM/ID/architect salaries. Good to see this posted.

@j.damon 15 days ago

I moved from residential ID to hospitality FF&E and pay was noticeably better, so this checks out from my experience.

@c.dsouza91 16 days ago

Depends what "running operations" includes exactly, is it just admin/scheduling or is it running actual projects on site and managing clients. If its only internal work, then its low but not so much. But if youre managing projects and clients then you are very underpaid.

@laylainteriordesigner 16 days ago

Hello ! Starting out early in your career can be confusing. Previous replies here are spot on, prioritize learning over salary in the early years. But make sure you also set a baseline for yourself, understand what you will and won't accept. alculate your expenses, transport, and establish what you need to feel rewarded, and what work conditions work for you. Then negotiate higher pay (always). There is usually a little room for you to earn higher than their offer. Best of luck to you.

@fatima_az 16 days ago

5k is a reasonable ask in Dubai for a fresh grad. Realistic range is 4.5–6k depending on the firm size. Don't undersell yourself but also don't price yourself out of good learning environments early on.

@Jon 16 days ago

I graduated from AUS a few years ago and started at 4.8k in a small studio. Within 2 years I was on 9k with real project experience. At this stage chase the best learning environment, not the highest starting number.

@Omar_designs 19 days 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.
