My interest is that really, there are several voices across this forum who will talk at length about why where they are at is really terrible and people should avoid at all costs, and yet those same people continue to work for the companies they are warning against. This is confusing. Adding the context of "therefore I'm trying to get out of here when something that suits me comes up" makes your position a little more believable.
So you’re not interested in working for Qatar or in the Middle East in general… why are you engaging in a Qatar airways thread and worrying what people who work here think?
The fact that people complain even though they work somewhere is nothing new. The issue is (and I’m surprised I need to explain it), once you move to a new country with your family etc, you simply cannot just up sticks and leave because you don’t like it.
I’m afraid responsibilities play a big role… for example school for your children (if you have them). You simply can’t keep moving them from school to school on a whim. Financial commitments also play a major role in deciding your next step. I could go on, but I won’t.
Two things can be true at the same time 🤷🏻♂️
