West Atc
and to all others thinking of the move o/s. You are never gonna score big time cash as an ATC, maybe in Dubai but that is under increasing pressure from a piss poor exchange rate.
There are better employers than AsA, I am working for one at the moment, not perfect but better.
In terms of cash here in the UAE I am slightly better off than home but if the predictions of the Au$ hitting US$1.20 come true I will be worse off. Even then I will have to weigh up the lifestyle versus cash carefully.
As I have said before go to the intended destination first before signing the dotted line, it made my move over here so easy.
The best thing about Aussies packing up shop and moving O/S is that it sends a message to those morons in the Alan Wood Bldg (if thats where they still are?)
In response to Tfc Tfc I loved my out of hours life in Oz but the work at AsA was having a detrimental effect on my health, my family and my happiness.
