Job Offer in Abu Dhabi...is it worth it?

Expert Info

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Destination: Abu Dhabi
I'm currently working in KSA with a monthly salary of SAR 31k per mth for the past 2 years. I have been receiving an offer to work in Abu Dhabi with a salary of AED 27k per mth, which is lesser than my current earning. I'm having a big dilemma to proceed with the offer? Can I live comfortably with this offer with my wife staying together? How much saving can I make from this proposed salary though I know its ultimately depends on my lifestyle. Im struggling with my decision to accept the offer or staying in KSA. Of course, there is pros & cons for both.

I'm a 50-something South African male. A couple of years ago I went to South Korea to teach English for a year and made some good money, but I am now too old to teach English according to South Korean law. I am now looking to teach in Taiwan, as I understand the system is different and it's easier to just go and get a job when you're there. Am I likely to face problems for being too old? Also, I have a corporate/sales background - what are chances of getting a decent corporate job as a first language English speaker in Taiwan?

Destination: South Korea
I'm considering going to the East to teach English in September this year or maybe early in 2013. I've heard good things about Japan but the high cost of living puts me off. Is it more lucrative to teach English in South Korea or to teach English in Taiwan? Also, which would make for a more enjoyable year? Any advice or insights would be appreciated.

Guys, I am moving to Oslo, Norway in one month. I was wondering you who live/lived there, how would describe the total income of NOK 700k per annum? (impossible, budget, average, high, incredible?) We are a couple. and with such a salary, what could be a reasonable rental per month which leaves enough money for the rest of things. I have no idea about it and would be helpful if you can give me some estimation.

Last june we moved into a house we bought near evian. We went home in sept to do paperwork for long term visa. When we came back,we were told to present ourselves at office in anncey which we did,months later after no follow up,we called,answer was ,still processing. Now here it is april, still nothing,another call and the answer was oh,you have to go to grenoble. We are no strangers to expat life and understand the chaos and non information. We now have to find this mystery office, which it seems, closed till 23. All we have is phone number.
