Yes, it is possible for a software engineer with10 years or more of experience to get $100,000 annual salary in the Middle East, but with difficulty because these jobs are located in higher professional level such as management level, executive senior management, as we know, jobs are very few of these levels.

For this amount of salary per month you should be earning8500$ in middle east it is around30,000 Riyals or Dhirams. For a software engineer basically he is a coder in middle east and asia region. They use the title of software engineer but take work of programming whereas a software engineer role is management perspective rather than coding the software. It is very easy to get a coder cum software engineer in1000$ monthly in middle east. Thousands of people are ready to do it. Even with10 years of experience you wont go above5000$ a month that also depends how many certifications you have. For earning100K$ do your own business.

In my opinion, NO.

 

simple economics, the supply and demand, there will be so many software engineers willing do the job for less.

It is possible depending upon the skills , knowledge & talent of the employee versus the availability of opportunity.

Nothing is impossible and $8500/ Month is a great salary for a software engineer with10+ years of experience.

Yes, It is possible. I know some Saudi software engineers in high positions and they earn40,000-50,00 SAR / a month. But you have to be one of the best and to earn it.
