Why the Pay Index
Every band is anchored to a primary source we hold on file. No crowdsourcing, no self-reported numbers, no padding to fill thin sectors. What you see on the surface is the source count, full stop.
The Tenure Pay Index is built from primary sources, not crowdsourced information. Every row is anchored to a document we hold on file.
A professional reviews every row before it lands. Titles are normalised to a canonical role per sector so percentiles aren't distorted by title inflation.
Methodology
We treat methodology as a living document. If something feels off, it’s probably worth fixing publicly.
Get in touchThe Tenure Pay Index is built from primary sources, rather than crowdsourced information, and every row is verified by a professional before it lands in the dataset.
Every role row shows the number of verified sources behind it. Internally, our data pipeline flags low-source entries for monthly re-verification. Any role with fewer than five fresh sources is queued for the next refresh cycle. What you see on the surface is the source count, full stop. No padding.
Job titles in the Gulf vary wildly; the same person might be a Vice President at one bank, a Director at another, and a Senior Manager at a third. We normalise titles to a canonical role within each sector so percentiles aren’t distorted by title inflation.
Why only UAE, Saudi, and Qatar? They’re the markets where we have enough verified sources per sector to ship credible percentile distributions. Narrowing the scope is how we guarantee accuracy. Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait will return when we have the source depth to do them justice.
