I am seriously considering going to Saudi Arabia to work on a 2-5 year contract.
Any advice or input would be appreciated. The money is good and tax free. Paid in Sterling. I would be living within the realms of a compound. The aim of going would be to build up a financial cushion in order to be mortgage free and start saving for children's further education. The recession here in Ireland is hitting us hard financially and although we are lucky to be debt free we are treading water.
I have lost €2300 per month salary in cuts.
My main concerns are:
Leaving the wife and family behind?
Political stability and safety?
Fitting in with the culture?
Financially is the sacrifice really worth it?
