A FO told me that his salary was around £5000 pm in 2016. How come has the salary increase so much? Is it £6600 now, isn't? Thanks in advance.
2016 was the BREXIT referendum. AED is pegged to the USD which is strong at the moment, and the £ has plummeted. I would suggest completing your calculations on a more conservative exchange rate if you're planning on sending money to the UK.
