But there shouldn't be any comparisons between salaries in the EU and the Middle East. Expenses are totally different, not to mention also the life style!

Some parts of the middle east are quite costly as per living expenses .. Qatar & UAE come at the beginning of the list .. Kuwait is also expensive .. Jordan as well .. and definitely they are compared with Europe from this prospective ..

frankly, the gulf countries didn't come into my mind when i was thinking about the middle east...i was concentrating more on egypt, jordan, lebanon, syria, iraq, libya sudan...etc...where the average employee earns nothing! ( taking into account the soaring prices)

| Excluding Jordan, I believe you are correct .. if we are talking about the R&D sector .. but if we consider the telecom. or services, I believe ME is almost the same as EU & USA.

| Right now,unfortunately the situation is not all that cool for the junior designers . People with 5+ yers of solid design and test experience are in demand. And the bar is going up every passing day.

IMEC's salaries are a bit lower, compared to companies in Belgium. They also don't provide cars for employees (except for top management  ). But the work environment is very challenging, the people are so friendly and helpful, and the diversity in the nationalities of employees and researchers gives a special welcoming atmosphere that isn't always found elsewhere

I don't think this is correct. The H1 quotas directly goes for those who are already inside USA. I guess this might change if the democrats replace the republicans in the administration. I do remember the days of Clinton. At that time, everybody used to easily get a good job in USA without a need to worry about VISA quotas.

We were talking about the job opportunities and not the H1s etc.

Don't count on europe for engineering, please....
The system here in europe is socialist, which means, wealth is normalized, which means.... Dont even think about it, UNLESS : Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Monaco,
Ireland (Not very positive about ireland, but its good). NEVER come for engineering
to France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Hungary, UK. The tax here is 50%, and the
income is half of USA, CANAD, Switzerland, Australia.... and so on.
Take my advice, I have experience
Good luck
Nasser

These countries are rich, Income above 90,000 CHF (Swiss Franc, nearly dollar in value). Taxation can be under 10% (Very high income can go as high as 25%).
Generally cheaper to live than other places in europe, and very stable countries,
very high standards of living.
Good Luck
Nasser

I know that Swiss is known being a costly country .. but anyhow .. this depends on the equation .. if people are happily living in good aparts. .. driving fancy cars .. and saving some money .. then it's not expensive to them .. but expensive to non-residents ..
So, what is the percentage of residential rent to the income ? .. this is one of the figures that give a good sign to the standard of living ..
Usually, in the US you may end up paying one-third of ur salary for rent ..

Switzerland is an expensive country, but the salaries are high and taxes are lower than most other european countries. Like US, but european, civilized, with health insurance coverage, school for all, free/cheap university.
Very clean, organized place. You pay for everything, including to have your garbage picked up, but so what ? It costs money everywhere!
The *big* cost in CH is housing! Buying is out of question if you don't want to spend 30 years paying for the bank loan. Rent is expensive, unless you live far or in small place.
Zuerich is so expensive that many people drive cars a long way from out of the city.
VAT is low on electronics, cars, so once rent/housing is paid, fill it with all consumer junk you can imagine.

That's all good .. but here is the 1-million dollar question: How about the Opportunities/Vacancies in Swis ?

| Its a close circuit ... and in the times of slow down the opportunities are miniscule , rather zero as every one has been hit and those who have not been are being cautious.
