If You Got Offered A Job In Kuwait...

[Ant97GTR]

Ni,

I have been offered jobs all over the middle east. I picked the 'depends on the cash' option in your poll but that doesn't cover it....basically on top of the cash incentive you want to be looked after as Ziad suggests. Make sure you understand the local customs etc and have a good idea what is going on in the country.

Personally I would only go on a short term basis (3 month) and if you like it you can extend. I know more about working in saudi and as a westerner you can only get a 3 month working visa and have to leave the country and come back in. Also it is extremely hard to get a visa for a western female even if she is your wife.

If you want any more info contact via PM or email mate

Kuwait is pretty safe these days insn't it? Haven't heard nothing on the News lately and not to consider all this 6 figures wages from most of the oil ridge contries, two words Ni, DO IT.

the more i talk to people about the place that actually know something about it and arent idiots like me that generalise about the area, the more i hear about it, the more i like the sounds of it.

As long as you don't ask a redneck that thinks that all muslim countries are full of people who run around saying "durkah durkah" you'll find that that's the general sentiment.

Avoid palestine, libya, syria, iraq, afghanistan and iran, as those places tend to be a bit volatile depending on who's in power and what mood they're in and the rest of the places are nice places.

The best thing about jobs in the middle east is that you can negotiate higher pay and allowances for relocation, accomodation etc. and they're usually willing to pay to get skilled labour on board.

going to get more info from my mate on the job and exactly what there after and offering... if its as good as he says it is then i think i will take Ants suggestion on the 3 month thing... then i'll take 3 months paternity leave from my current job and head over... if it doesnt work out... come straight back to my job here. If i like it... and they like me... see where it leads.
