Working conditions Middle East
Hi there,
I wonder if anyone has experience to work abroad, for example in Dubai, or a similair place. I currently work in The Netherlands as a B737 licensed engineer for a low cost airline.
I am seeking for a new adventure and inclined to companies in the middle-east. The reason for this is the assumption of astonishing salaries and a culture were most employees come from abroad from all kind of nationalities. In addition, a warm climate and a modern, state of the art city are attractive as well.
For this reason, i would like to gather some more information. Perhaps somebody can give me answers to these questions?
- How does a normal week look like? i.e.; working hours, roster, working shifts.
- Do companies include housing in their contracts?
- What about regular travelling back and forth between the middle-east and europe, do they offer an arrangement for that?
- Does somebody have experience with their culture? Is it true what they say; one european licensed engineer supervising ten Indian mechanics? What about work pressure?
- Are the salaries really that astonishing?
I hope somebody could clearify these questions. Every bit helps!
Many thanks.
