Hello dears ^_^

This is Rana from Egypt .. I'm a pharmacist and working in marketing field... few days ago my fiancee has received an email from a telecommunication company called NEXTTEL in Douala seeking an accountant and requiring his CV urgently. They say that the salary is 4000 USD. And they are offering accommodation and company car. Actually we have no idea about life in Cameroon and the cost of living. Is this starting salary enough to live in a good standard and save some money for the future? Is the city safe and can offer a good lifestyle for both of us?
And what about places to visit, schools for our kids, colleges for further education?

Kindly I hope you can give us a brief about details of life in Cameroon and in Douala specifically.

Hi Rana
4000 USD with accomodation and local transportation provided is not bad .
Douala is not that expensive and u can spend less than 1000 USD/ month for food and some errands .

Welcome on board
