Please do needful on these
I am having an offer sales executive job in Bahrain Manama city. They are offering me 475BHD per month. Accommodation and transport is taken care by company.
Can anyone tell me that what will be my per month expenses excluding house rent and transport. I will be single person with no dependents. So can anyone let me know what will be my per month expenses.
I'm an Aussie who has been offered a position in Bahrain. Total package of 6000 BHD/month inclusive of wage/schooling/housing/car in addition to full medical insurance for my family and an annual return ticket to Australia for the family.
As a family of four (kids 11 and 8) I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea if this is a decent package and if its worth the move to the middle east?
Thank you!!
