supposed to be one of the best places to work in relation to cost of living. You could live LARGE
That's not really my main motivation at this stage though I mean I lived in abject shitiness relatively happy in Saudi Arabia as long as there was homebrew wine to get me through the weekends, doing the big spending expat thing isn't really my thing (and dare I say beneath a gentleman of my refined character
)
I've got a mortgage, a gf (who is none too pleased with this development might I add
D) friends family etc... over here and if I do end up going abroad again, it'll be in the interests of the long game back here i.e. get the house paid off early, come back with a wad, stash some away for retirement and so on.
Unfortunately the only place really that this is an option tends to be back in the Middle East because most places will pay for your accommodation or give you a stipend for it - anywhere else you're essentially having to pay rent locally plus the mortgage back here. Add the fact that fluctuating currency values are not a large monthly outgoings best friend at times and the options are very limited.
I don't even remember applying for this one but on closer inspection it looks like the school offer you board or digs on campus in some capacity which is why I would have gone for it.
My gut is pretty much saying no.
If nothing else, I'd have to kai bosh my bucket list trip to Iceland next October
Tough one.
On the upside (and I may be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off with my reasoning and logic behind this) but as I was essentially an illegal immigrant in Qatar when the shit hit the fan on my last expat adventure, I've realised that I'm probably OK to go and work there again - if I wasn't legally entitled to work there, they can't blacklist me for bailing out on a work visa......
