Following Kona's move, but going the other way :)
Well i've been approched by my compnay with a real killer offer to look after facilities in Doha Qatar.
This offer came up 6 months ago and wife said no right away. End of story! well no. Now that wife has lost her job and last day of work is March31 she is open to the idea. Contracts go for 2yrs at a time and at the end of contract there would be a 10% bonus for completing. Salary is very good, but thats not the real part. You would get $1800 a month for expenses, 3 bedrom house, suv, private school for your kids(12K per kid)+ benefits.
Having talked to some ppl they usually spend about 1200 a month and groceries, rest goes into savings. This is on top of your tax free salary.
I like to go, but scared as well. I have been to Bosnia from work for 6 months, but i was single and it was hard. So i'm hoping with me taking my family it will make it a bit eaier for me to last. Hoping to to atleast one contract, maybe 2.
There is no danger in the country, like there is no war, but sometimes Arabic ppl don't like foreign ppl. So has anyone done anything similar to this? I like to know how the end result was.
Thanks, MoMo
