Hi guys
Good Day
I am currently in a the process of finalizing the interview rounds  process for a retail company in Kuwait-with KW origin- as a senior Network Engineer ,given these facts:
1)9 yrs of exp. between multinational providers  and Banks  of gulf origins
2)3 professional CISCO certificates +2 associate CISCO cert's
3)Fluent in both Arabic and English

In case I was selected and regardless of the estimated salary range  I asked for in the first interview ,What would be the estimated figure of the expected salary for such position given the above facts?

Appreciate all the help and support provided
Bregards

what dod you personally think?is it a good package meeting your needs?

Alchemy

There is no precise Salary offered or asked yet, but I was asking the opinions of the people living in Kuwait what would be the normal range given the mentioned facts, to be able to negotiate in the final meters  with no" so high "or "so low" expectations...
Appreciate your valuable knowledge guys.....

Alchemy

Thank you so much Ace117,Yeah I Read the post you mentioned but didn't specifically cover my mentioned details that is why I am collecting opinions like yours - for these given details- for a very close to reality "average" .

Guys, I will be so glad if you can share your opinions like Ace117 did....

Alchemy

if they ask you what salary would you like to have? you can put the question back to them like replying " what are you paying others in same position,"they will have to tell something,and you can bargain to fit what you feel is appropriate.

to be honest i have no experience working or giving interviews.


wen you come here take extra precautions regarding legal documents because the situation here is little abnormal currently.

so prevention is better than cure.

Alchemy

Thanks for the advise bro,but what do you mean exactly by that? Do you mean the contract itself or work permit or rental documents for anything?

ace117

you misunderstood,here the expatriates are facing lot of deportation due to failure to produce documents when requested.like civil ID even if you went down your building to throw garbage.

  similarly,married couples are also asked sometimes to show their marriage certificate.

the ministry is cracking down on to reduce expats and traffic.

Alchemy

So Strange !!would keeping copies of these documents  in each family member' wallets do the job?

ace117

yeah,it should do.as for civil id,only the original will be valid.
