I have read what PPjn says and that the package is supposedly overall better than EK & EY but are the allowances enough e.g does the housing allowance pay for a house/villa (as I have 3 kids) and is the education allowance per year enough for one years tuition fees?

2. DO Fo's actually save any money?

3. What is the time to command

4. What is an average FO's monthly salary

many thanks

1- Yes, the package is better in some points and the housing is not enough for a decent villa for your family. If you plan to stay for long time (5Y+) maybe it's better to buy one and education allowance is not enough as well.

2- With three kids, personally, I dont believe you can make any savings

3-Time to command... God knows, I guess 8 years from now

4-The average salary is 2800Bd (w/o housing and school allowances)

Cheers!
