I am in the same type of situation. I would rather work in a decent tier 2 school that won't drain every last ounce of sweat from you. Particularly in Asia.

that converts as 61,000 baht. Not the best, that's for sure.

Can you remember the starting salary at that school?

Thank you for the responses. I will have to ask what the salary is.

I have an interview for a GEMS academy in Dubai. The school is called GEMS Wellington Academy - Silicon Oasis.

Does anyone know of the school. Salary? reputation of GEMS etc.

As this is my first international job I am quite nervous...

Thanks in advance.
