Hi, all

I was wondering if you guys know any sites that are similar to "monster" or "careerbuilder" for overseas job. I've googled many of them but I'm not sure which ones to trust.

Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Paul

Welcome to the forum,

I would let people know what field you are in as that may be able to help people tell you which recruitment agencies deal in that sphere. People may also be able to let you know whether you'd be better/worse off moving across. Some jobs pay less, some pay more.

HTH

Default Thanks.

I'm currently in Finance ,manage collateral debt obligation, mainly loans , and some asset back securities. I've been doing this for about 3 yrs. Prior to this career, I was in retail communication sales (wireless) for 5 yrs.

How much do you think companies would offer me at the least ?

Uncle Sam follows you everywhere if you're a US citizen!

Good point Fatbrit.

For US citizens all income received in the UAE is not tax-free. You would pay US taxes on all income above, approximately, $87,000 per annum. Make sure you factor that into your calculations.

I figured so. I should have kept my Thai Citizen, but the gov't wouldn't let me carry dual citizenship any longer.

So anyways, besides this forum... can you guys name some credible sources for me to look for a j.o.b. overseas.

No problems. Let us know your experiences, always good to get an insight into the process for those of us who have never used a recruitment agency.
