Am a geology graduate currently doing a geotechnical engineering MSc whilst working full time for a large multi-discipline consultancy in the UK within the ground investigation - geotechnical dept.
When I get my Masters I will be 25 with 4 years experience and will want to look to move overseas having lived and worked abroad previously.
Could anyone give me a rough gauge of what the market for British trained geotechnical engineers is like at the moment. Im not concerned about the destination, althought the middle east is preferable, just any info to give me an idea of what I'm heading into would be very much appreciated.

In the Middle East your citizenship is crucial to the job and your salary. Not fair - but that is the way of it. You may be "British-trained" but rest assured that if you are Asian you will be on a lower salary than a British citizen in the same job.
