Two Offers - Swiss vs Saudi Arabia - Need To Decide Which One QUICKLY

[TTT]

Hi,



just got 2 offers:

1. Zurich - 2 months + potential ext., good rates

2. Riyadh - 1 year, very good rates, no tax in Saudi, but... it's Saudi...I wouldn't bring my family there, so I'll be alone in the desert

Where would you go?

Any responses appreciated.

Zurich - too much risk of it kicking off in Saudi!

Well, Cuckoo land is considered one of the most boring countries on the planet....

Considering what is happening at the end of a 5 mile bridge from Saudi I think I would choose dull and boring.

I would chose option 2. More money in the bank.

Zurich.

Anywhere in the Mid east is iffy and will remain so for the rest of the year imo.

And it's Switzerland not Swiss.

Go to Switzerland as you can easily escape at the weekends by driving, taking the train or flying to another European country.

But try and get a longer contract as you will find it hard to get rental accommodation.
