Information That'll Guide Me In Oman,

Hello. Good day. I'm Raiza. I worked and lived in Oman for 3 yrs. I recently left the country coz I already finished my contract there.

Hi, I am Joydev from Kolkata,
I want to explore my career out of India & believe Oman will be the right place to move with my family.
I am an innovative manager with 19 years of experience in ERP implementation projects and IT infrastructure and security in the manufacturing domain.
Could you please help me with a fair idea of the job prospect in Oman for my profile, so that I can stress further on it!

Hi JOYDEV,
Expat employment opportunities in Oman have been curtailed to a great extent. The reasons for this are many. Topping the list is the prevailing inclement socio-economic situation brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic and its resultant repercussions.
No employer will be in the mood to invest in material or manpower to expand their businesses at this time given the sorry state of affairs.
The second biggest reason is the added focus on providing employment opportunities to the locals, many of whom are struggling without a job or an income.
So for all practical purposes, now is just not the right time to seek employment opportunities in the Sultanate. Until and unless Covid becomes irrelevant and the market opens up in a big way, employment for expatriates in Oman would only remain a wish and desire.
Hi Sumitran
Little disappointment; however, your illustration is extremely well in this context and very useful to draw a conclusion for now.
I hope, things will turn right in near future.
Moreover, could you please help me further to get an idea of the following points?
How good a salary package should I expect in a normal course on my profile?
How much salary is good enough for a family of four?
Thanks again. !!
Hello Everyone,
This is Jagjit Singh, from Mumbai, India.
I am spending an amazing time here in Oman, while still getting use to the scorching heat. Migrating to Oman was an interesting story (at least for me) and a challenging one as well.
In brief - I am responsible to align the payment mechanism and launch multi-range products here in Oman and to try and take Oman towards the digital growth.
For details, we can run in for some glass/cups together.
Cheers,
Jagjit Singh
