Nadia – I think the salary is standard, but now the cost of living has gone up very high, even the electricity / water charges also has gone up. I think you should give it a try, but clear with the contract details before you decide

Hi,Wonderful information… Well done!!I got a job offer as a Lecturer in a College from Maldives, Male and they are offering me 700 USDs per month excluding of accommodation & food allowance, but electricity bill would be on my responsibility. I really don’t have any idea about the salaries & expenses in Male. They are still discussing salary with me because personally i was not satisfied with this amount.What do you think? , kindly reply me at my email address if possible.ThanksNadia Syeda.

Dear Kishore,

It is nice to go through your detailed explanation in an answer to the questions of many who want to work in Maldives in various sections.

I too expect an answer to my following:-

I am currently working in a private export company in North India and have been working since 1993. My wife is teaching a Convent English Medium School in primary section.

My question is that is it possible for me to get a suitable job in Maldives in an Export/Import company. I have heard there is much scope for exports and imports in Maldives and just because of this reason there could many companies on the line.

Could give me an idea on this.

Many thanks,
Cyriac Joseph
