The UAE remains a hub for diverse career opportunities and a thriving expat lifestyle. Yet, this influx of talent does mean that employers now have a broader pool of candidates to choose from, which can sometimes shift the balance of supply and demand in the job market. In some cases, this has led to companies lowering starting salaries, benefits packages, or both.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Half&#8217;s report reveals that average starting salaries for professional services roles declined by 0.7% last year.<\/p>\n<h2>While this decrease may not seem drastic, it\u2019s indicative of a broader trend affecting key sectors, notably finance, accounting, and human resources<\/h2>\n<p>This shift presents challenges and opportunities for current and prospective job seekers in the UAE. If you\u2019re moving to the UAE or considering a job change, flexibility can be key. Companies are still keen to hire the best talent, and while they may not offer the same packages as before, they do provide the unique chance to be part of a dynamic, international workforce.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lovin.co\/dubai\/en\/announcements\/pay-just-aed-66-for-a-taxi-between-dubai-abu-dhabi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">READ NEXT: <\/span>Pay Just AED 66 For A Taxi Between Dubai &amp; Abu Dhabi!<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"title\" class=\"style-scope ytd-watch-metadata\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stay in the loop with Dubai\u2019s hottest news, right at your fingertips!
