New Bayt Salary Survey
20Feb2010Filed under: Work
This time around, the “Salary Search” from Bayt.com is ridiculous. The figures are all there, but the presentation is terrible.
“Post your salary details anonymously to get FREE access to Bayt.com’s Salary Search”, but when you do post your info and try to access the salary search feature, you need to “Upgrade to Power Search” to view any info other than the title and salary. The “free” information without “years of experience” or “company industry” doesn’t give a proper picture of the data.
In any case, after going over the data entered for Kuwait, the figures basically say that I’m underpaid. 
Overall, Bahrain seems to have the best average salary followed by Qatar, UAE and finally Kuwait. Not bad for the tiniest country in the Middle East!
