side note:
being in my position, I get access to some sensitive info... and I can say with absolute certainty, that what I got is far from a "good" rate here... it's just unfortunate that I joined after the global oil price crash... three years ago, I could have had much higher rate - maybe more than double.
but nevermind, to each their own... everyone's fate had been written... and besides, I can't really I complain with this much. Imagine, I made 13000 gross working in KL before this. so it's a big jump already, for which I am thankful.

Thanks for sharing!

do u mind to share cost of living such as foods(breakfast/lunch/dinner), transport, monthly rental room/house and etc? searching for house at first, is it agency help u to find a room or studio or u do it by ur own from Malaysia? anyway u live with family or alone? i really keen to know and thinking to get a job in middle east in future ..

last year i got an interview offer with local Insurance Company as software eng .. thru agency not direct with them ... interview is good discussion on package but dint work out due to Qatar politic issue with Saudi, UAE and US that time got conflicts .. so they freeze the hiring can proceed further afraid the sanction getting worst .. that time also Qatar airplane need to re-route cant use the UAE or Bahrain airway ... maybe not my time yet God knows better
