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...

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!

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
