Recruitment Agencies
I’m reaching out to those working in New York, San Francisco, Dubai/KSA, or Singapore to gather insights about base salaries and on-target earnings in your regions and industries.
To provide some context about my background: I have 8 years of experience in recruitment, including 5 years managing teams of up to 12 people. I successfully built a division from the ground up, achieving £1 million in gross profit and £4.2 million in turnover, specializing in the built environment (real estate, civil engineering, and sustainability).
Currently, in London, I’m earning a base salary of £50k with an OTE of £110k (including team overrides) while managing a team and actively contributing to our projects in the aforementioned industries.
I’m considering a relocation and am open to exploring different industries as well.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
