Hi Genesis Malabanan,

Glad you have done your research. So you can do the comparison yourself. Did you try bargaining ?

The salary being offered to you is, well, definitely very low indeed. But with food and accommodation being provided for whatever you earn would be yours. Yet, you would have to live and spend consciously mindful of every Rial that you would be earning.

However, I do not know if this is the going rate for an expatriate Machine Operator. Since this being a technical job, I am quite certain that there would be no locals to handle this job function.

Also, read the numerous other posts and discussions here under the Cost of Living topic. You will get a very good idea of what to expect.
