To negotiate salary in UAE: 1) Research thoroughly (use Glassdoor, Payscale for benchmarks, consider nationality-based variations); 2) Calculate living costs in your specific emirate (housing typically consumes 30-40% of salary); 3) Understand the full package (basic salary, housing, transportation, education, health insurance, flights home); 4) Know that typically only 60% of total compensation is basic salary, affecting end-of-service benefits; 5) Time negotiations correctly (after receiving offer, before signing contract); 6) Focus on value you bring rather than personal needs; 7) Request important benefits in writing; 8) Consider tax implications from your home country; 9) Be aware that first offers are typically 10-20% below maximum budget; 10) Remain professional as aggressive negotiation can backfire in UAE's relationship-focused culture.
