Guys, I am moving to Norway with my family in a few months. I was wondering if it is common to rent apartments/houses in furnished condition or not? I am going to leave in Oslo and hopefully not in the city center, but in suburbs like Sandvika. If furnished one is also an option, what is the effect on rental? and how is the quality of furniture in general? Long story short: do you recommend to look for furnished or unfurnished?

I have been offered a job by a company in Toronto, Canada and they are busy sorting out a work permit for me. Will my wife be allowed to work on my work permit, or will she need to apply for her own?

Thinking of moving from Ontario to Vancouver and I just wanted to make sure I could afford to live in the one of the world's "best cities to live in" (at least according to the Economist Intelligence Unit). Can anybody give me a quick run-down of living costs in Vancouver? I know this is a highly variable subject, but I don't demand a lot of luxury - so just an indication of essential expenses would be great.

I have recently signed a contract to work at KAU in Jeddah. The housing allowance is 17,000 SAR for the entire year. Posters on another forum have told me this is not much. I will be working by myself with no family and my lifestyle is spartan to put it mildly. I'd like to be within 2-3 miles of the school if possible but I get a transportation allowance so I could go further out. 1. Is it possible to rent an efficiency unit for this amount of money? If so, would it include utilities? 2. Do people with larger apartments or homes ever advertise for roommates?

I have lived in Australia from March 2011 until now, but I travel often and my primary income comes from freelance writing jobs in Oz. Do I qualify as a tax resident or a non-tax resident?

Been trying to find this for some time. I am currently making 150k euro (excluding bonus) + car in Austria. Based on some job adverts (similar role, Jeddah based) i suspect i should aim roughly at 200k euro base (which would then be tax free). Is there some kind of formula which would say: local salary x 1.x = reasonably competitive KSA salary? I heard somewhere that typically people make 3x more in KSA than at home... this would roughly mean 1.5x correction factor then (assuming taxes roughly at 50%) 150k... = 80k net... x3 = 240k...

Hello. Does anybody have any information about Kingdom Schools? What is the salary package; working conditions; student behaviour; management personnel? Does the school also allow for family members to come with the teacher?

Hello friends, need a really quick favour from you guys. I received an offer from one of the firms in Abu Dhabi. They conducted all the background screening and security checks...all of which came positive. Now the problem is that I am on probation period in my current organisation in India and will get confirmed in the next 2 weeks. The notice period for a confirmed employee is 90 days in my current firm. So, the Abu Dhabi firm had asked me put down my resignation before I get confirmed in my current organisation in order to avoid the 90 day notice period.

I am a solicitor qualified to practice in England and Wales, and I am in the process of qualifying as a solicitor in NSW. In the meantime I am looking for legal experience. Ideally this would be as a paralegal, legal clerk, legal assistant or other in a solicitor's practice or barrister's chambers. I am having real difficulty getting work and/or experience and this is despite having 10 years of litigation experience in the UK. Maybe it is because my experience is mainly in the criminal law field.
