Is contract work overseas all dried up?
I'm trying to get back on working overseas (Middle East) and though I've worked over there a few times. it's always been a task to get a number of a recruiter. Both times I've been over I was employed by Halliburton. I'm aware there are better companies out there Halliburton just happened to be the company I was introduced to first. So I just went with it and started out with an entry level position.

Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you guys work out there or have worked out there in the past and happen to know or have some connects. I'm in need of some tax free monies.

thank you in advance gentlemen

If you end up in KSA, you'll pay the tax in other ways. The 'enjoy life tax' is pretty steep or so my s.o.l buddy working over there tells me.

If you are going to impose your will on the world, you must have control over what you believe.
