Hi All,

My name is Paul from the UK but living overseas for the last 20 years. I am in negotiation for a General Manager's role across Tanzania but based in Dar.

I am married with two kids aged 3 and 7. Looking to live in a 4 bedroom house in Oyster Bay with two cars Land Cruisers and a maid / driver.

Kids will need to go to a good expat school but doesn't need to be the very best. in the top 60% of expat schools in town.

Would look to join one beach club

What would be a basic in hand salary expectation, a moderate one and then a very very good one.

Many thanks for all your help and looking forward to meeting you all when I get there.... Drinks are on me!!!!

Yes i'm looking to rent both in the short term and perhaps buy the cars after a while. Schools seem prohibitively expensive. I current pay annually around USD 10K for schooling and don't really want to pay any more.
