Which I think @ Flor.,the reason why the offers are getting low and low... They dont demand what they think they should be getting in exchange of their skills. Employers think that they will accept it anyways, so why offer them higher than that.
Same case happened to me, my boss told me that he contested my salary to my HR manager (regarding my offer which he think is a bit low, (which at that time i think is fine) the HR manager respond him back, what if she accept the offer? which i did because i have no idea at that time as it is my first time in the Gulf) (My boss told me this after i signed my contract :( but he promised that once we start to get things moving, as our division is new and he is new too.., some changes will be done regarding my salary as we are going to run the office independently and HR has nothing to do with it ) Its one of my mistake, I didnt TRY to demand! I just accepted it.
