Wealth is easily created in Oman
Earning and saving is quite difficult these days. With the cost of living climbing northwards, unless one has a solid paying job, life is not easy for the family types.
If things are not that great why people are not quitting Oman?
Most of the expat Indians have put up 6-10 years of experience in Oman, and they have not added to their skill set as the local market doesn’t require you to update skills quite often. If you go back to India, the requirements for a job will be too high. Left with an option to work for lesser salary, most of them decide otherwise and stay in Oman. Another aspect is easy and comfortable life (less traffic, non-stop power and water, no pollution, etc) in Oman makes people difficult to adjust to the hard-grind scene in India. Finally, one ends up working in a company for 15-20 years.
Why do most of them end up in jobs with average salaries?
Since most of the employment process happens over email or phone, majority of them have little or no knowledge about the cost of living, etc. Most importantly many fall for the conversion rate without bothering to check on actuals. Only, when they report for work, they understand their blunder.
Who has the best chance in Oman now?
With the economy booming, people in the senior management have a good chance of bagging handsome paying jobs.
