Re: Predictions for 2018
Guys with large families here will be a rare breed soon . The numbers do not stack up and haven't sone for a long time.
When recruiting i always look for a single status type hire. No margin in bog standard projects here to be paying out school fees for fellas with 3 kids.

We pay cash for everything + medical. Sort yourself out. Got 5 kids? Good luck, the job pays X,000. If that works, then great.

Re: Predictions for 2018
Even during bad recessions some industries and individual businesses do well.
Just don't get comfortable and be ready to walk at short notice - but that is standard practise for any sensible expatriate, especially in the GCC. Save like mad, don't get wrapped up in the lifestyle and have a little fun if you can.

Yes, I am single status this time. I aim to do everything as flexibly as possible and not get into any debt at all. That's why I'm looking at a serviced apartment and a rental car. I will probably have to open a local bank account but won't be taking any credit cards. They dished them out like confetti last time I was there.
I also aim to do something like a distance learning course and/or Arabic lessons to alleviate boredom and avoid becoming a typical bar-dwelling, middle-aged expat. The road to hell and all that...

Oh, and you could always have a go at photography. I can give you some tips if you'd like.
