Sure beats dealing with a house full of family.
I know it's been six years since we talked about this, but seriously, are there still available positions over there starting out at over 100k?

That's why I'm leaving at the end of December. I need to get a head start on everyone coming back. I'm trying to get my company to just transfer me to Guam on their 5 year contract, but they won't need me until at least June. Unfortunately, most of our projects worldwide don't pay much more than our salaries in the States. I will only make between 40-60% of what I'm making now, but it was still more than I ever did in Dallas.
I know the best way to get your foot in the door is to still go through the big three (KBR, Dyncorp, Fluor), but I can see panic in their employees' eyes as I get more and more coming into my office looking for a job.
The hiring process got screwed up out here early. It quickly became a buddy system to those who kissed the asses of the higher-ups. I've seen several more than qualified people not even get called or anything.

Originally posted by Denny View PostI still think there are several years left in Afghanistan, but I've managed to avoid that place like the plague. I'd seriously throw my resume out to those three companies listed for Afghanistan. You could get something in logistics or supply with your background. It would also be slightly higher pay than the field trades.
Rough idea of pay? Thanks man.
