QUOTE(carloz28 @ Apr 1 2025, 10:31 AM) Last time I worked in Qatar in 2007 A decent apartment rental is already 10-12K per month Now probably more lol Yeah, unless the company offers includes accommodations, more than 1/2 of the income would be gone to housing. Back then they include family as well...

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Apr 1 2025, 11:54 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Yeah i have been working in brunei things arent exactly cheap here too. Currently renting room bnd500 sharing bathroom. Probably should be similar or slightly higher than brunei. U mean is how many room? I see ads the price range of single bedroom unit range from 2k to 7k, depends on what u wan i guess. Got also some hotel room long term rental 3k qar. Looking to spend not more than 10k for living tho. Im single, so i guess it should be okay? Thanks! The price range for rental kinda varies widly, some place further than city can get airbnb 2k+ per month, some near city 6-7k. Im single and going alone, so should be good enough to bring some money back home?
They offering permanent position tho means direct hire, i think it would be better than staying in brunei that have so much uncertainty nowadays.. even local also kena retrenched Didn't know Brunei was doing that bad.... Take it la, since you're single and there's much less expenses Same2 as Brunei, little to no night life unless you go abit further to Dubai Congrats BTW!

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Apr 1 2025, 04:35 PM) Too many uncertainty, very hard to work like tat only renew or extend less than a year contract. BSP wanna cut cost, so foreigners owes kena first. Brunei no night life but Miri is near 😂 thats y money spent in Miri lol. At least go Qatar there just work only. Thanks! Hopefully all goes well. I think I have some Bruneians frens in Shell, I prolly will talk to them again see how they are But really the poster above me is right, if you don't mind having lifestyle similar to M40 Malaysians, then you prolly could save Alot by not staying near expats area
