Hi,
In your position I would come.
Generally, you can put up with the place (QR and Doha).
You sound mature and flexible, and you will need it here.
If you just want to come and earn money thats great. but you will be waiting for a while possibly..... either way you have no choice but to take the first job that comes up.
If you are a DEC or F/O the training cycle will be more tolerable because of the cash, but schooling costs etc will smash your funds until you get them back from payroll.....
Oh and a villa, will also drain your funds initially as well.
Come for the ride and see the other side.... hopefully to findout first hand the guys being negative are speaking alot of truth but also you can find the positive as well!
Now the question is you have to get a start date first!
