Salary for Associate Professor

So first of all, for medical insurance, most expats in white collar jobs have PRIVATE insurance.  What you have to understand is that public hospitals here are available for all at a nominal fee once visa is issued i.e. the employer is doing nothing extra for you on this.  But it is a hassle using public hospitals.  For example, to see a specialist or get a procedure, you will have to go the local health center nearest you, which will then refer you..........all of which takes time.  Public hospitals are also crowded, sometimes there is a language barrier and there are only a few big hospitals dotted around the island hence drive times depending on where you live.

So in my view, the salary seems reasonable but the benefits don't.   The teachers in big private schools get private health insurance - I am talking at the level of RVIS, BISB etc.

In terms of living, you need to figure out where your work place is and where you want to live.  Then is it going to be an apartment or a villa.
