Barista in Costa Coffee!! :))

135BD is really, really low. Do you really want to change your country for this salary? 35BD housing allowance is a joke.

Really???? Can i survive there?

The whole package is a joke. Are you sure it is not a scam ??

For cost of living try this website www.numbeo.com

Thanks for the url.. no its not po, its the same agency ng friend ko. He's in dubai now sa fairmont. Nagtataka lng kmi sa housing kse mostly 100bd pnka mababa nkkita kong rent. I'm thinking twice about this now. Kso i've paid half of the placement to process my visa.and chneck nmen sa poea okay naman dw ung agency at pf.. ung sahod and housing lng tlga problem.

Hi bebe00.

For starters, I think that is about the range of pay that baristas make in Bahrain. It may not be much, but that is the range. BD 35 for accommodation could get you shared accommodation with other Flipinas here. You will need to speak to colleagues and friends for introductions. I can put you in touch with my friends here if you are interested to contact them directly. As for transport, I am certain Costa Coffee provides transport to and from work for its staff. I have seen their staff transport vehicles dropping people off.

I know a few pinoy friends who work at coffee shops here. Let me check with them how they manage and get back to you. I will need a few days please since its holidays here and I will not be meeting them until late next week.

Really? So it's not bad at all? I have one friend who will be joining me with the accomodation.so maybe with our budget we can fit with the rent.  Thank you so much sir Farhaz! See you there!

Please do not have any illusions - its going to be tough living on that salary. But what I said was that there are people who are here on such a salary and seem to manage. Not trying to scare or worry you, but just putting all the facts in front of you so you can make an informed decision.

All depends on your choice of life style.

Best wishes. See you here if you do decide to come over.

I expect the worst. Im prepared to cry. Hahaha please do help me with the housing.. thank you so much!

Certainly. Let me know few days before you get here and I will put you in touch with my friends. No need to cry. Just make the most of it.
Best wishes.

Thank you a bunch sr. Farhaz!
