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 2 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.

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

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 2 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.

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.

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?

@hassan92 3 hours ago

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

@Hana.B 2 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.

@building.stuff_dxb 3 hours ago

Curious what others say too, feels like procurement doesn't get talked about enough on here compared to PM/design roles.

@fatima.k 2 hours ago

I'm at 19k with 10 years but I also handle vendor negotiations, contracts, and disputes, not just sourcing, so scope matters a lot here. Wish you best of luck.

@M.H1993 2 hours ago

19k at 12 years sounds reasonable for contracting side. Consultancy or developer side procurement tends to pay a bit more from what I've seen.

@ahmed.S 3 hours ago

Congrats! I made a similar move, retail fitout to retail design management a while back. Biggest shift is you go from hands on design to overseeing the bigger picture, timelines, budgets,brand consistency across stores. your fitout experience actually sets you up well for this. Good luck !

@PeterM 2 hours ago

Haha welcome to the other side. moving from fitout into design mgmt means less time in the details and more time managing people, priorities, and stakeholders. store openings don't move so pressure is real, but running a small 3d team already means you know how to keep a team moving under deadlines. you'll be fine tbh

@fatima_az 3 hours 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.

@laylainteriordesigner 2 hours 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.

@Jon 2 hours 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.
