Salary negotiation and finding rentals by lemontea
Hi all, I have a job interview for a company in Denmark. I have a few questions: * I tried to research salaries online but drew a bit of a blank. I know how much I need as a min, based on tax, cost of living, etc. but I don't want to undersell ...
Thanks a lot Nellie, I've tried several salary sites already, but it doesn't really help. My profession is rare, and thus data is scarce. The suggested salaries on both those sites for my experience are a lot less than what I used to earn ... Read More

Hi Cynic, thanks a lot. This really helps :) I talked to belastingdienst and KvK yesterday with regards to contractor type employment, but am none the wiser to be honest. In my industry, and lots of others, e.g. IT those contractor jobs seem to be ... Read More

Hi Cynic, yes, I know these things. Those would not be a problem. What I don't know is how this would come into play when providing a net salary wish. And if not what it means to be a contractor in the Netherlands and what the actual ... Read More

Saudi as single woman: questions by lemontea
Aramco has asked me whether I'd like to apply for a job in Dharam. So far I'm still lacking a lot of information. I know I won't be able to bring my husband along. Can someone tell me more about this? Are women not able to sponsor their ...
Thanks a lot. Yes, HR mentioned it would be based on job grade. I do wonder still whether it's a definite No or open to negotiations. I mean, a job that requires at least 10 years of technical expertise! Can you tell me a bit more about visit ... Read More

Aktau, of all places :) by lemontea
Hi guys, I'm thinking about applying for an office job in Aktau. Uh, I know it's probably not the most intreaguing of all places, but the work sounds interesting and payment is good. I hope someone can tell me a thing or two about living in that ...
Uh, there seems to be somewhat of a misunderstanding :rolleyes: I am a woman, married happily. I was just curious if the pill I'm used to might be available or not. And working: well, my current employer has an office in Aktau so there's no reason ... Read More

Hi Kazakh_Man, I'm sorry if I sounded somewhat negative. It wasn't my intention. I'm asking about those weired things like contraception and sunblocker because I've been in well visited places before and could not get either of them. And lets be ... Read More
