Dear Santoshpraj

USD 3000 p.m. is not enough if u have to manage your accomodation yourself. Please negotiate for accomodation, transportation and medicals.

Have friends working security in Baghdad and they tell me their clients have evacuation plans in place and the Australian Embassy there has sent most staff home and is advising against travel to Baghdad.Other embassies are also sending staff out.

Anywhere in Iraq is not considered safe now even though there are areas with no fighting. the fighting could easily spread.

@sanazi

Hi Sanazi, as welcome here in Iraq, if the employer will take care of your accommodation and food expenses that will handle more than %70 of your spends, so if you want (yes, no) answer, the answer is(yes) its more than enough, but if you ask is it a good salary or not, for sure you will get better salaries in 5 stars hotels and in international companies or NGOs, if local companies the do not pay much.

My advice is you should accept the offer stay for a while such as 1 year or more to check the market to have crystal clear view.

You can DM if you need any help

All the bes

@sanazi Dear Sanazi , first you should consider the work place , is it a 3 star or 5 star hotel.

on the other hand and in order to live a comfortable life you would need a salary of 1500$ .provided food and accommodation mobile are part of the benefits .

good luck

@sanazi hello, honestly speaking salary is not matching with position, at least they have to pay you double. But is fine if you are jobless till find another job with higher salary.

@sanaziI was there in 2012 and its really cool place. I have worked in Saudi, Oman,Iraq, Malaysia and been to UAE. Worked in Soran and Ranya, and been to Erbil on weekends.(caught bus from Ranya about hour or so away in share cab and cost around $4-5 if I remember correctly), Anyhow it really wasn't strict and women dress western in both classes I taught and in public. Great place but $800 really seems low,too low.
