Quote HistoryQuoted: Ok... So - $12k EUR/ $13.5 USD/ mo = $162k/yr US. Shouldn't have to pay taxes, so that's actually a pretty legit living. However, in your OP, you state that is NET, and includes salary, accommodation & transport. Figuring 800/mo for a nice place to live, that takes $9600 out of your total. Not sure how transport figure in, but I'd assume that will take up about 400/mo or $4800/yr You're now down to 147,600. A PM/CM that is being recruited to work overseas can beat that in the states, very easily (even if TC = sal+bonus). So, is living/working in a 3rd world, former Soviet, predominantly muslim county worth $148k? How does the health insurance/ medical coverage and service availability work? Is there a form of workers comp? What if you get hurt? We all laugh at OSHA here, but you do know that there's no such thing there, right? Many of the "hey osha" memes come from there. Their safety is... lacking. Not trying to be a downer, just throwing out some 3rd party/ unaffiliated thoughts/ ideas - go for it if you want it, I probably would if I were single... but now, not so much and it makes you look at things a little differently Either way, That's a pretty awesome opportunity. Congrats man, regardless of which path you choose. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: got contacted about a construction management gig overseas. details on the gig: "Permanent opportunity working directly for client (Lasting several years) Based in Tashkent (Capital of Uzbekistan) Start date ASAP - Will take 1 month for work permit Client will pay for your VISA/ Work permit All-inclusive monthly salary - 12,000 (NET), this includes your salary, accommodation and transport Client will pay your taxes in Uzbekistan 3/4 flights paid back home per year" thoughts?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Well Uzbeks aren't Slavs, so... https://www.adweek.com/wp-content/uploads/files/blogs/jake-state-farm-hed-2015.png Typical pseudo intellectual post from you. Find a former USSR satellite state that hasn't been impressed by Mother Russia. Regardless, there is an ethnically Russian minority in the country, to which she identifies as. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: exactly. no living expenses but i'm still on the hook for merican taxes (federal, SS/medicare, MT state, etc). Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Assuming the company is on the up and up and your conversations give you the warm and fuzzies, I'd seriously entertain that then. I don't know how much you make currently and how much you could make in an equivalent job here in the states, but sounds good to me. I'd have to think, making that much money there would have you pretty high up in the food chain to afford almost anything you'd want. For me personally, I'd live on the cheap as much as I could and save that money for when you get tired and want to come home. Depending on his area of expertise and experience you can get similar pay stateside. The huge benefits of going expat is tax savings and not really having living expenses. exactly. no living expenses but i'm still on the hook for merican taxes (federal, SS/medicare, MT state, etc). I'm not saying you should do it, and I have no idea how the legalities work, but if you work over seas for an overseas company, and your money is put in a non-US account, well... |

Found it!
Loved this when it came out. This photographer has an eye for photography that is just impressive. Really gives a good "feel" for the country like nothing else I've seen. https://www.rferl.org/a/uzbekistan-photographed-through-the-unique-lens-of-anzor-bukharsky/30629007.html |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Irish pub there is pretty good.......the Chinese food is so so........ Yongnuo? Across the tracks from the Pushkin metro stop? That's the only one I remember. Only ever went when others wanted to go, the food was... unappetizing every time. Never could tell what people saw in that place. Then again, I don't do "Chinese" food in the US either. Just not my thing. |

I worked out of K2 in 2003 and loved it there, spent my time between K2 and AFG.
Drove around K2 in diesel Landcruiser, traveled to several cities on way to Tajikistan. Women are gorgeous and Tashkent rocks. |
