Any civilian contractors in afghan, non military.
 

My former co is hiring for civilian work in afghan, 80% uplift in pay, 7-12's, o/t = 1.5x , 10% haz duty pay, No tax

Prolly clear $400k for a 1 yr stint

Not sure the job scope., but it's not drving trucks or anything like that, engineering work.

Opinions?

What do you normally do? What kind of engineering work? Most likely all you will be doing is base operations.

Uh duh. Do it

Z would probably pay for them to take you for a while :lol

This.

What kind of engineering? My brother is looking for a job like that, he just got his degree in mechanical engineering and is working for a company called schlumberger.

Other than that it looks like a good deal

I don't know much about engineering operations in Afghanistan, but I do know that civilian engineer contractors in Iraq generally stayed on the base and out of harm's way, unless they were directly involved with construction outside the wire.

My first instinct is just to say find out more info on exactly what to expect (with $400k being thrown at you... my guess is you will spend a lot of time outside the wire)... but definitely consider it. That's a very positive line of work to be in out there, you get to help a lot of people, and you work with a pretty broad range of contractors, civilian and military alike. But it will probably be pretty frustrating too. :) Good luck either way...

Let's blow up bridges so we can hire engineers at 400k a year to design new ones!

Typical Government at work. lol

Such BS all the money being wasted there........No attempts even made to negotiate, they just throw money at new hires even when a lot of them would have taken the job for less

Shut the fuck up dickhead
