Maybe connect with somebody that is working for the company on LinkedIn. They have an interest in you NOT asking too low a salary or dayrate.

Hi, The IOC in KRG in Northern Iraq are going through a very tough time now (Since March last year they export pipeline through Turkey to Mediterranean was shut down). That is why 6k is most prbably not possible. In the Oil fields in the southern part of Iraq the situation is better but salary is generally lower. Your cost of living in Iraq is very low so you can save almost the entire salary. So if you don't mind the political and security situation in Iraq you can accept the job offer for 4K.

Good luck

I have hard about this problem with the pipeline, which seems to be a recurring event as it happened years ago as well. I believe that a salary has to fit into the payment structure of the company. DNO is probably paying different salaries or day rates than the KRG. This is why I recommended connecting with somebody working for the employer.

Hi, hope you are doing well, according to your experience and the position you will be held, the salary within the range if its not lower than evarage.

Im not aware much about the exact salaries for your similar positions but i can give an indications for local national

Electric Technician ( non bachelor degree) will have $1800- $2250 per month in an oil & gas company contractor.

Translator (bachelor - diploma degree) $2500-$4000/ month

non local (expats) payment always higher than locals for mid - senior level position.

So in my opinion what you asked is within low to medium salary ranger

Good luck
