I can't say specifically but the nurses , pilots, flight attendants and few other people I have met that worked there are quite well off, full health benefits. If you get the chance even to go for a few years then definitely go. As to if you have family and have to uproot them that's a next story

[zoom rader]

Had a family member that live 10 years in Saudi as a nurse. Made a huge amount of $$$. It's a Muslim world so they are very strict where women are concerned. It's just a place for working so don't expect living the live with entertainment.
Dubai on the other hand is a different world.

thanks

[fallen_angel]

i hear they paying $30k US a month and people abandon ferarris there

[daas]

Could look into ESL teaching there, employment opportunities are boundless. I myself got the opportunity to teach there but I chickened out due to perceived high cost of living, climate etc.

would be simple enough, depending on the job mostly camp life (community)
as ZR said before, muslim country so very limited....

but

money to be made

trail of thought... get in, make money, get out
most rotations tend to be 90/14 - 3 months work, 2 weeks home

work permit is fairly simple and easy

Cousin works in Dubai and Bahrain. She typically goes for about 8 months then back home for a monthish. As stated above for women yes they strict like that but the kinda $$ she making she will be clocking 7 figures in savings before 35 I'm sure.

Here is the driff.

Working in Dudai/Saudi/UAE depends on where u come from. If you are from India, Philippines, china ect then you get paid according to your country rate (low Pay)
If USA/UK then expect the big rates.
For Trinis you need to work with an expat company to get the high end rates eg BG , BP ect.
The same applies for Nurses, if you are a Trini nurse but registered in the UK then u get the UK rates. If your a Trini registered nurse then u get the Trini rates.

good info zoom ^^

[zoom rader]

What trini nurses normally do is work in the UK and register in UK when their contact is up they simply move to the Mid East and make the big $$$.

Oil workers normally work 1 month on and 1 month off on the riggs. UK oilmen make about £500 a day tax free but they don't get paid for their 1 month off.
There are Indian nationals that work on the riggs as stewards/ cooks / cleaners. These Indians spend an entire year on the riggs cause it cheaper for them to stay on board and save money. While UK/USA/Trin gets flown back home on their offtime, the Indians don't get that and have a choice to go main land. They refuse mainland cause it's a cost for them to rents/eat. On the riggs they don't have that cost but they only get paid straight time.
After a year's they normally return to india to buy up lands and open businesses.

It all depends on where u work and what u do to make the money.
Even hoes make big $$$ and goes by what nationally they are.

Best share it here bro so others can learn

[tr1ad]

It all depends on what nationally you are.
They treat certain nationalities different.
Arabs normally treat certain outsiders as servants or near slaves if ur African Indian, Philippines ect you are at the bottom of the ladder as they do the bottom jobs.

Trini indos in the big jobs get big $$$ but most often they get taken for Indian nationals and treated at the bottom if the Arabs don't know who u are.
