There is a big difference between CA and ACCA.

Re: Accountant salary in DUBAI

Not in Dubai, where foreign multinationals prefer ACCA. Pakistan CA is appreciated, but doesn't have the edge they have here.

But since they are south asian, they are rated lower, hence they get 7-8k dirhams starting.

HAHA... no.

Ever since MNO have started going away from Pakistan, accountancy jobs have shrunk. Telenor recently decided to move their finance section to Accenture... Bangladesh. Embarrassing.

Try Dubai, you go there on visit/tourist visa, get a local sim, stay there in hotel, use local number on CV and SPAM.

Get lucky, go to interview, get job, get visa, get out of UAE, comeback using new visa, start job.

Usually, people can manage to get a job within the time frame of a visit/tourist visa.

Re: Accountant salary in DUBAI

Dear ryzonusef

My cousin is going to study ACCA in Pakistan.
He is a British national and has British passport but settled in Pakistan with his parents so he will study ACCA in Pakistan.
Would you please tell me what are prospects for him in UAE after ACCA.

Thank you

See, Dubai is racist, so Goras start with better starting package for junior positions (atleast 11k, last time I heard, could be 15k DHS) than a South Asian ( 7-8k, last I heard, again might have changed)

Now on one hand, your cousin is a British National, on the other, he still is a South Asian like us.

If your cousin plays his cards right, and makes sure he comes off as a thourouglyGora, with the English accent and makes sure they understand that his is BRITISH national.... he can negotiate for a good starting salary.


----
Remember, this isn't some table, it still depends on your interviewing skills, but try as hard as they might, us south asians can't seem to negotiate a higher starting package, in fact they barely negotiate with us, because they have an oversupply of us, so they have lots to choose from :D

(If I try to ask for 8k, there will ten who will readily work for 7, so why hire me? :D)

But a british national can work in UK and EU, he doesn't NEED to be in Dubai for economic reasons, he is CHOOSING to be in dubai for personal reasons. (he is not going because he wants a "survivable" salary like us, he is going for a "better" lifestyle than the UK. He is not desperate)

If cousin makes sure he comes off as a "pukka" British National, just like any gora, then can negotiate a better salary, since dubai will treat him like any other gora.

---

He will still have to be in Dubai, he will have to go there, stay there, and apply for it.

 

[Ahud1]

ACCA is not a Degree its just a diploma
however in Pakistan FCMA and CA both inter and complete earn from 120,0000 to 8,000,000 per anum

Neither ACCA nor CA are an academic degree, they are both professional certifications for regularised qualifications.

In Pakistan, yes, CAs earn more, they have more opportunities. Because they have the right to do Audit here, where as ACCAs don't, they have a massive edge.

In UAE, however, neither is a "local" qualification, so they are judged equally, hence both have equal chance.

In Dubai, there are many MNC, and they trust ACCA a "bit" more, since they themselves might be from UK, or at least have heard of it. But CA also are in a competitive position, unlike India, Pakistan ICAP have made sure their brand is strong.

 

[Noman Abid]

ryzvonusef, if we go for interview with british or any other forign nationality, we will show our matric certificate and f.sc got in pakistan. they they will get to know we are pakistani.
