I'm wondering if expat from Zanzibar, Tanzania could share his experience about expenses and salaries range for an engineering and management level position at Zanzibar, Tanzania.
I'm expecting in between USD 6 - 7K as a starting! Is it worthwhile?
Looking for your genuine advice.

Average salaries are low in Tanzania.  The average salary for civil engineer is $24,000 per annum. This may rise if you have good formal and educational qualifications coupled with years of work experience.
