What are the minimum entry level salaries of an investment analyst in UAE in a boutique investment bank?

Question

I saw lot of people who have an experience in investment banking in CITI and GS getting hired by small investment banks in uae.

Answer 1

I have a friend working as an investment analyst in Dubai, and from what I know, entry-level salaries in boutique investment banks can vary a lot. The base salary starts around 95,000-150,000 AED per year, but total comp (including bonuses) can push it higher. In larger banks, like Citi or GS, analysts can make 250,000+ AED, but boutiques typically pay less upfront with more performance-based bonuses. Hope this helps!
