Fiirst time abroad working in bahrain?

Question

i was offered $700+ salary to work in a restaurant in ritz-carlton... accommodation and 2 meals are included. is that enough? i was also planning to buy a laptop to communicate with my family, how much is a good laptop in bahrain and is internet connection included in all apartments in bahrain??? please help me ^_^

Answer 1

not at all! a laptop is hardly 200dinars (aprox $600)

the life is expensive here, add to that transportation and food and clothing, plus, if your appartment has no internet connectionthe net fees,

what about the weather, did anyone tell you? it's burning hot here and terribly humid, will you be able to handle that?

do a good research and study all your options before you decide to come here.

Answer 2

Is it $700 OR BD 700???????

If its $700, then do not bother to come to Bahrain as that is equal to BD 265 which is not enough to live for a month at all. If its BD 700 then it is a different story. It is still not that much,  but having accommodation and meals covered makes the offer okay. You still will not be able to live a posh life, but you will be able to manage.

As for apartments, no not all apartments have internet, but if not, you can get internet for BD 10 per month from Batelco. I don't think this amount is a lot.
