Hi Everyone!
I am about to receive an offer in Kuwait. I am an Architect and would work as such for a large multi-national company. If I am looking at a monthly salary of $ 10,000.00 USD per month but have to get my own apartment and car.
What does anyone think of this salary? What will be the opportunities for saving money?

Thanks!


Try this site for cost of living www.numbeo.com and then work out how much you can save. You need to factor in medical insurance cover too.  Is the salary tax free or do you have to pay tax on it.

Hi Stumpy,
Thank s for the website. I am looking at it now. It is a very interesting project and the work period is 48 hours a week. so it is an additional 400 hours of work a year vs. work in the US and it would be an interesting adventure for sure!
