as a trade? not good, have a search of the forums and you'll see there's no money in it, but if it's more on the management side, probably more worth while...

Will do that. We've been offered a job for a brit firm, with good money, £2.5k a week, & just wondered how that stood up. sounds good now. Cheers |

Just be very careful which part of the ME you're getting GBP2,500 per week from - that's GBP10,000 per month which is UAE Dhs72,000 per month - I can't see an electrical contractor getting that sort of money in Dubai, that's Banker money.
It's more likely Iraq :unsure: |

Fair dos, I thought he meant in the 'construction' world for electricians :)
Lets face it, a sparky back home doesnt do sparkying here, he will be an electrical supervisor or superintendant..in charge of a team of electricians. Surely these positions in construction will still pull in 300-400GBP per day plus? PS im an Electrical Engineer in the oil and gas, however not a contractor (more fool me!!!) |

All I can say is, hubby's in the wrong job in construction if a sparky can earn that :( |
