your advice not just twice... but thrice. And I see the same figure of 50K!!! Here I copy paste it to be more clearer...
"(if the flat is unfurnished, ask for 50K furniture allowance upfront)".. Did I misunderstood this statement martin2doha? Please enlighten me... us in the thread. For this no joke asking your employer of this benefit. Its like giving them the impression of saying... "Don't hire me please!"

I would like to believe that all who gave their infos were not feeding the Op to the lions den. But rather more of practical advices on how to possibly land a job here in this part of the World. After all, its the Op who will assess and likewise decide.

Cheers!!!:o)
