Re: whats a decent salary in pakistan?

Just guessing:

Ave : approx. 3000/rp for ave worker.

Good would be about 10-15000/month. ?

Re: whats a decent salary in pakistan?

A decent salary for a fresh grad/post grad from Pakistan would be Rs.15,000-Rs. 25,000.
A decent salary for an experienced (min 5 years) grad/post grad from Pakistan would be Rs. 40,000 with at least 1 major fringe benefit, eg, car.

A foreign qualified person with the above qualifications would be able to get an average of 15,000-50,000 more than the above rates, depending on his experience and university.

Chemical engineers have limited scope in Pakistan, but then again, its more about being at the right place at the right time.
The above salary rates are obviously with private companies. With government jobs, only highly qualified (min Phds) stand to make decent money. Others will be paid according to the pay scale.

What is the average salary/month for a professional in Pakistan?

And for the common Pakistani?

Thanks,

Re: whats a decent salary in pakistan?

depends on your profession.

rizwan, if you can target ICI/Engro/P&G and other mncs etc you can expect to get very attractive salaries. I believe ICI in particular hires experienced chemical engineers and pays them well.

caliboy, im in the same position, have about 2 and a half years work experience and looking for a job in pakistan

Re: whats a decent salary in pakistan?

caliboy, rizwan.
try
ICI pakistan, or Rupali polysters, BASF Pakistan. there are many other chemical industries you can get into but these will pay better.
GSK, nestle, dewan sulman, sitara chemicals etc

most forign graduates get more pay than Pakistani graduates, most oftenly with company car if you working for the right multinational or a nice Pakistani company.

major sectors are Textiles, Chemicals, Ploysters and fibres, and Pharmaceuticals.

if you want some exciting stuff you can also try nuclear facilities i.e, KRL , PINSTEC or Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission.

if you want to get in to chemical research, the best chemical research centre is HEJ Research Institute of Chemistry http://www.hej.edu.pk/

also goverment funded PCSIR (Pakistan Council of Scientific & Industrial
Research) they have centres in Lahore, Karachi, and islamabad)
