I am a Medical Laboratory Technician with the International Medical Laboratory Scientist License (American Society for Clinical Pathology) and i want to know what is the range of my salary just in case i decided to work in Muscat, Oman. If given the chance to choose, which is more favorable, work in the government or private owned company?. Do they offer the same packages for Healthcare workers like me?. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Hi Vijongski,
I do not have the slightest idea of pay scales of people in your profession. But I do have some idea that getting a job these days for any expatriate is a huge challenge, complete with inordinate delays in getting the paperwork cleared.
So as you have assumed, you cannot simply choose to work in Oman and get a suitable job within days. Secondly, getting a job in the government sector is a bigger challenge.
If given the option to choose between the former and the latter, I would advice you to choose the former. Packages and benefits are better for the government employees as opposed to the private sector. Getting a posting in Muscat or any of the other larger towns might be a bit difficult. But if you manage to secure one, you are good.
