Salary negotiation in Lebanon: 2026 playbook for LBP and USD offers

Ask for the full structure

Request the breakdown: base in USD vs LBP, allowances, health coverage, transport, and bonus timing.

Benchmark with realistic ranges

Cross-check similar roles in Beirut, remote-first Lebanese teams, and regional hubs to set a fair anchor.

Indexing and review clauses

Negotiate quarterly or semi-annual adjustments tied to USD to reduce currency risk in longer contracts.

Non-cash levers

Flexible remote days, learning budgets, and clear promotion criteria can close gaps when cash is capped.
