I get calls to go there for computer systems- is it worth it?
I worked for ARAMCO for 2 years. The money was great. Because I was living in an ARAMCO compound, and working in an ARAMCO hospital I felt pretty safe. For R/R I would go to Bahrain for 2/3 of the Three B’s.
Booze, Bacon, (Broads)....
When I left in2015 the security situation had deteriorated. ISIS to the North, Yemen to the South, Iran to the East. Mosque bomings and shootings of the Shia. Not sure what it’s like now.
It depends where the position is. If it’s easy travel to Bahrain it’s good. The pay is high but it is repressive for non-Muslims. You basically just mark time as you fill your bank account because you’re not part of the society or culture.

So do I. Then I tell them my last name and they say, “never mind.”
