@Primetime
hmm really thinking of doing this.
Is this your first overseas job?
What other places have you been besides the middle east? Africa, Europe, Asia?
Yup it's my first. I took the leap and don't regret it one bit.
I've only been to Africa and Europe very briefly, not long enough to give feedback. But that's changing in 2020.
I'm visiting Amsterdam late January, and some expat buddies want to run a Euro gamut of London, Paris, Italy, etc in the spring.
Egypt and Capetown, South Africa are also on my list. Most these places i've named are a 6 hour flight (except for Capetown) but require 1 stop with a 2 hour layover, so we're talking 9-10 hours to get there; so i'll probably do 3 day weekends. Tho apparently some of those Euro cities are an hour drive'ish apart from each other, so a couple of the buddies were talkin about a road trip to see them all in one go.
and you said search linkedIn for jobs like this?
LinkedIn (global/worldwide search) and Indeed.com.
Riyadh, Khobar, Dhahran, Qatar, Kuwait, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Oman...UAE or Saudi Arabia in general, etc.
Other ME nations open too? Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait?
@Primetime which project?

What do you mean?
They do. And depending on where you're at, yes loud speakers. If you're off camp, in a country like Saudi, then everything essentially stops until prayer time is over. Shops/restaurants stop service etc.
If you live or work one of the expat compounds, then that shyt is ignored. Business/ppl go about their day regardless. Tho some who practice will excuse themselves to pray.
I go back this weekend
Inshalla I make it back in May to watch the Rockets make that championship run
@Primetime how is it in the country you are in with the Iranian situation.
sorry to let you know one of those 2 things will not occurI go back this weekend

My bad. At the time there was just whispers among us expats about it.. but the locals, especially the company, they don't share shyt about it one way or another lol. Or if they do talk about it, it's in their own language.
Even now, Iran is a hot spot for the zombie virus but nobody really acknowledges their existence other than the disclaimer of don't go over there.
