As a qualified telecoms engineer (amongst other things), if I was to stay in the UK and do this job I'd be on the equlivalent of 50,000QR/month.
But that's because highly qualified Indian nationals can't get visas to the UK.
Indian telecom engineers get a quarter of that in the Gulf, but it is still good for them because they can come here to work and earn more than in India!
I've taken a serious pay cut but like WhoAmI, am trying to invest in my long term future! Way to go WhoAmI!!!!
(*whispers quietly* ...and I don't take orders well, so need to be sort of my own boss)
So, it does all boil down to choice!!!

Do you think it's fair that I would get paid so much but a better qualified indian national who would work for much less can't get a visa?
That is a similar situation, but I don't really think that it's discrimination, do you?
Not all expats come for more money!
