I have a couple of mates in Qatar working for a vvvip airline and love it out there. Good housing, education for the kids. Private health care etc etc. They're in a decent complex with lots of expats from all over the world so there's a nice sense of community. The big tax free salary is a bonus too.

Biggest issue they've had to deal with is the heat in the height of summer. Reaching 50 degrees at times. And one of my mates is fair skinned and ginger so he has to be doubly careful

I'm looking into it for 2 years time.
If you come up with anything we could share notes.
