Should one entertain such ideas? Najua tu hakuna raha…kuna any other downside? Ni corporate job so hakuna kuteswa
Isn’t expat just a fancy word for immigrant?
Apparently expats have money and do good jobs…immigrants ni peasants
It’s good to tell yourself nice things, hata watu wa UN are immigrants
When the native meets you on the streets you are just another miserable immigrant
aren’t immigrants people who decide to go settle in another country, while expatriates are people who go for assignments/ jobs with no intention of settling in the host countries?
Immigrants are black and brown, expats are white. Simple as
so if a kenyan gets a contract to work at UN headquarters in New York they become an immigrant? Wacha hizo
Lol, you can call yourself an expat all you want but everyone else will consider you an immigrant.
That’s a good opportunity. Experience in multi cultural environment and cuisines. Immigrants, expats na hizo zingine ni nyef nyef
I would say it will depend on what options you have hapa nyumbani, for one to be considered for a job even in saudi paying that much, most likely they are of high employ-ability value, so I would say it will come down to what you are forfeiting and also if you have a family and the age.
On the social front as has been mentioned before, you will be seen as a potential ‘immigrant’ you will mostly have stick around other black people, or just isolate yourself if you dont want to be associated with the immigrants huko.
Take the job; had a similar expat job and life was fine. In fact cities such as Riyadh are miles ahead of many middle income countries…accommodation, entertainment , food etc. And almost 40% of population are foreigners so utakuwa sawa tu.
Kimbia huko, life is okay Bora you can handle the hot climate,they have winter also. And if the currency is USD. You are good to go, hii ovacado yetu utanunua na 500ksh, plus utakula GMO from SA
The basic is if the cash is worth it welcome to saudi.the expart community is very large and various activities are planned.The social life is great too.just need to connect to the people you share common fun with.
This my 6th year as an expart here and loving every moment of it.
You know this very well,Africans are immigrants. Arabs are immigrants. Asians are immigrants. However, Europeans are expats because they can’t be at the same level as other ethnicities. They are superior. Immigrants is a term set aside for ‘inferior races’. You going out there, are a skilled or highly qualified immigrant. Kumbuka tu hio. Ever heard of white immigrants in dubai or kenya? It doesnt even sound politically correct. Chukua kazi wchana na titles,infact you’ll be relegated to a guest ukipanda juu
Vile tom mbayeye amesema ukienda majuu kama mwafrika wewe ni immigrant skilled or unskilled hata ukioa or olewa na mwenyeji…ukienda a neighbouring 3rd world country wewe ni bazenga expatriate…especially if your home currency is stronger.
But vile erson amesema hii yote ni mnyambo ya punda. Weh tembea.
Sio mimi…ni ariff…Mimi niko London
Mimi ni expat boss…once you are among the highest paid people in a country you qualify to be called expat
