Re: Architecture
If money was all I was after, I'd go back home. My salary would probably double. (see 3rd post for my reason) If I were to consider saudi, I would prefer to be in a position to commute to bahrain though, daily ideally. So I'm guessing Dammam is the only option on that side for this? Without spending hours travelling each way, I just relocated to gain back the 2 hours I used to commute each day for work. Alternatively, any experience self or of others who commute(d) weekly UAE/KSA/Qatar-Bah? A quick check tells me air fares are in the region of £100-£200.

Dammam/Khobar best (only?) option for a daily commute. Doha/AD/Dubai would be fine on a weekly if you don't mind the flying and airports. Personally I would not do it though. I commuted on a weekly basis between Oslo and London for 18 months and would not recommend that kind of life to anyone.

Yeah, but the problem is that Norway has big salaries, big taxes, high standard of living and therefore high cost of living.

The whole salary vs cost of living in the UK I would assume a great factor as to why there are so many brit expats wherever you go.
Weekly commute still beats a biannual commute I'd say, but thanks for the advice. I've never tried. Still young though (relatively speaking), must experience all life has got to offer.
