My company is looking at its first assignment in the UAE and we need to ensure that we our pricing is in the right ballpark. Anyone know what would be sensible rates for PM, Business Analyst, Process Analyst types - our staff are mainly UK nationals - is anyone able to suggest what rates we could reasonably ask for?

over to you ZB?

Depending on complexity of the work it's usually 3 camels and a wife. If you are very senior you get to pick a hottie. dont get to pick the wife though.

3 camels were in the good old days before the subprime crisis.Nowadays for process mapping don't expect more than 3 goats

If we have a double dip recession that might drop even further to 3 PA Consulting staff, or 3 Consulting Point recruiters.

your company can charge similar rates as in UK for various roles that you have mentioned, if its a public sector client, you can always add another 25%.
