Has anyone worked in Qatar?
Anything I should look out for?

Most obvious thing is money. Jobs out there pay no more than in the UK now in my line of work, and sometimes they pay less.Originally posted by george99 View PostPublic Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

Have you got a confirmed contract or are you just asking before applying?Originally posted by george99 View PostCoffee's for closersComment

I've been interviewed and put forward for their client to approve - this decision is expected in the next few days. I'm thinking about what package I should be looking for - I'll be providing PM, BA and Pharmacy related knowledge and services. Contract is likely to be 12months (possibly more)?Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostComment

Key is how you repatriate the cash, otherwise could be tax challenges - unless you use suitcase, jewelery, etc. (apparently)Originally posted by Fred Bloggs View PostComment

I agree, if the OP goes for a 12 month contract now he is going to have a hard time not paying UK tax on his income IMO. Besides that, the rates have gone through the floor for engineers out there since the Qataris started filling as many jobs as they can with asian engineers at a fraction of western rates.Originally posted by mailric View PostLast edited by Fred Bloggs; 27 April 2011, 14:22.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

Yep tax liability would be an issue. These days our bank accounts are pretty "see through". I don't see how you could actually repatriate it easily.
Take some advice before going out there.Last edited by BlasterBates; 27 April 2011, 15:20.I'm alright JackComment

Hmmm - I'll be pretty pissed off if I find I'm going to be paying UK taxes when I'm not even using UK services?!!Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostComment
