Hello,

I am corrently doing an internship at one of the top 3 MC firms (M/B/B) at one of their European offices.

If I get a job offer (which should be the case), I can ask to be staffed wherever I want. I am especially interested in Dubai.

1. Can anyone tell me what the starting salaries are for associates in my field? Is it 60Kish, like my European gross salary would be, or tend the pay to be lower than that (as no tax on income should lower gross pay according to economic theory)?

2. Also, what is the price for the cheapest places available to a. rent b. buy?

Fyi, I am 21, single and I do not plan to have a significant other till my 30's. By coming to Dubai, I hope to complement my past international experience as well as being able to save more due to the tax free income.

Thanks for your time and reply.

EDIT: I am talking about undergraduate positions ('associates'). I do not have an MBA yet ('consultants').
