    3000 USD/day, body armour, two minders at all times, no passport retention, exit visa prestamped.

    carry passport and 5000USD cash at all times in case you need to exit the kingdom fast.

        Have a look on gulftalent and compare the rates. I think you'll be very disappointed.

        The days of massive rates for gulf work is long gone.

          mostly rates not listed... they just say competitive...

          has nobody actually worked in the gulf recently and able to comment on likely rates/ranges/etc

            Idea for a new thread: "My client has said they're driving me out to the desert to give me a days notice. Can I expense the travel?"

            or "If I get chained to the client's own radiator am I inside IR35?"

              come on folks, I know this forum is full of mickey taking, is there really no hope at all of getting some reasonable rates/costs estimates out of anyone? lol I guess not

                That is not the BOOM! you are looking for.

                See if you can get 100% WFH.
                Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

                  I usually reckon general requires 9 rubbish posts to get 1 good one. Sad to see B/C has sunk to that level.

                    Oh? Bugger. Haven't looked for a long while. When I was active on there the rates were comparable to working here or less so gave up with it.
