I ve been here in Qatar for the past few years. my work is ok but lately i decided to move on ... I am willing to go for Africa. Salaries there are much better than here and the country there is not so expensive like here. Qatar market since last year became so expensive for nothin. Many I knew, they left koz of this ... I want to apply to Africa .. can anyone help me? can you give me contacts of the descent companies working there?
I am workin in the construction & Oil&Gas field... (purchase-mech eng)

i got some offers last year in Nigeria Lagos, Kotono and Congo. Believe high salaries. higher than here but yeah .. the crime and the diseases are issues there. but still a good place to make a good jump ... career wise.

In African Countries like Angloa, Nigeria...etc and not North africa countries or south africa you will be able to gain a quite high salary, and a good position, specailly if you will be working with international companies and the reason behind that no many professional will prefer to work there because of the risk (rebellion, gangs...etc), for example you will not be able to move out from your compound freely, whereever you will go out a guard will accompany you. you can consider yourself you will be in a prison until you go to vacation

Yes I agree with Bloubul, do some research first, South Africa is tough on jobs. You can go on this site http://www.jobsite.co.uk/ they have jobs available in ANGOLA, it`s a african country. Maybe there is something for you there.

Good luck

Where in Africa?

Africa is not a country mate. Most parts of Africa are 3rd world and very poor. High Salaries? I do not think so. Maybe in South Africa, but there you pay tax, and crime is an issue. Also affirmative action results in Black people being employed rather than anyone else, no matter your qualifications.

Make sure you know where you are going. Do research.

I am not trying to put you off, but be very careful.
