    Opportunities abroad

    HI huys and gals

    Been contracting for 2-3 years now and want to take it to the next level.
    This involves possible relocation to a foreign land.
    My question if anyone could direct me is..where can i find out about possible contracts in say dubia or iraq?
    Ive heard stories that suggest a very healthy wage! but cannot find any info or direction to go in.
    Any advice would be great.

    Cheers

    I too would be interested in this perhaps having security clearance will be of use?

      Body armour would be of far more use. And also a grasp of whatever language Islamic extremeists speak so you can beg for mercy just before they remove your head.

        You won't make tulip in Dubai, it's full of cheap Indians.

        If you want to go to Iraq then you must be mental.

          It's a 1PT...nothing to see here...move along.

          1PT = 1 Post Troll
          Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            Iraq is not so bad really. You're more likely to get killed cycling in the City of London for example, and at least it is more likely to be quick on the spot A&E care over there.

                Yes there are various organisations, the main focus is on security. Al Queda recruit from time to time, though they are a "not for profit" organisation focusing more on the fundamentals of religion than .NET or J2EE.

                  Huytonturbo , we had a thread like this a couple of months ago, then I dared to say that I am thinking of somewhere in the middle-east …OMG you should have been there, all the abuse, stoning, attacking, seriously it was as if I called Jehovah’s name in vein – it was bloody and not pretty, people got banned, others threatened to leave the forum.

                  Perhaps its wise not to start the war again. You'll have the whole gang saying and what's wrong with England? eh? What did the Romans ever do for us eh?
