Those Rishworth figures you were given don't look bad for a life in Brunei.
BUT: Expect to be on a local contract at RBAs earliest convenience. The numbers then aren't so rosy.
Apart from a lucky few, the rest of us are on Yr 1 salaries, oh, and there isn't a Yr 2 increment, or any increments!
I rarely get more than NZ$12500/ mth and that includes per diem.
I don't get a transport allowance. Used to but it has been stopped.
You would be lucky to get a decent family house for the current accommodation allowance. Expect to pay NZ$2500/mth.
The cost of imported expat prefered food is rising sharply.
Don't expect any leave! They have got enough tech crews to run just on the limit of overtime payments, so little gain there for you, but not enough crew to allow you your entitlement of leave on anything approaching the dates you might prefer.
Recommendation: Stay where you are!!!!!!! Oh, and does your outfit have any vacancies?
Keep the blue above the brown- there you go!
