Hey guys, i have received a job offer for a logistics position that will be based in Dili Timor Leste. I am quite worried and excited at the same time. Anyone here been there or worked there before? Do I need to take any injections before going? and how's the condition there? is it a great or safe to work or live?

Have you undergo interview with them? The employer simply throw offer letter to you without interview?

Since your company is not a Malaysia origin, so where is their main HQ?

You have to also consider the tax rates from the HQ and the place you are going to work in. Have you done a check on their lodging, food, or some other necessities prices and affordability if you fly there? Will they even provide coverage for your medical bills, broadband and international call? If they don't, USD 2200 is nothing. In fact, you are paid much lower than your Aussie freshies counterparts located in Aussie for AUD4k/month.
