Frequently asked questions

What does a Investment Banking Managing Director earn in Dubai?

The Tenure Pay Index median for a Investment Banking Managing Director in Dubai is AED 200,000 a month. The published range for this role and employer bracket runs AED 175,000 to AED 240,000 a month. Figures are monthly total fixed cash, the way Gulf offers are quoted, and they exclude bonus, housing paid separately, and gratuity.

What is the full pay range for this level in UAE?

Across employer calibre, Managing Director roles in UAE run AED 108,000 – 240,000 a month, from the market floor to the top of the range. Where an individual offer sits inside that span is mostly a function of employer calibre, and the calibrated split by tier is part of Tenure Pro.

What does the level below this one pay?

Director / Executive Director, the rung beneath Managing Director on the Investment Banking ladder, runs AED 68,000 – 142,000 a month in UAE. The step between the two is the clearest read on what a promotion at this stage is worth.

Is this base salary or total pay?

It is total fixed monthly pay, which is how compensation is quoted in the Gulf: the guaranteed cash an employer pays every month, including any fixed allowances rolled into the package. It does not include bonus, gratuity, or a housing allowance paid separately from salary. Banking & Capital Markets bonus and allowance norms are covered in the gated sections of this page.

Where does this figure come from?

From primary sources Tenure holds on file: written offer letters shared by members, anonymised before mapping, and extracts from established Gulf compensation surveys. Nothing is crowdsourced and nothing is modelled from job-ad text. No band publishes on fewer than three independent verified sources, and a band that falls below that floor is withdrawn rather than shown. The Index is refreshed quarterly.
