What types of jobs do most expatriate spouses/partners have? Locally based or telecommuting? Full-time or part-time? Can you comment on local salary scales?
Most EFMs who wanted to work at the Embassy were able to get jobs although pay was lower than in the U.S. There were a few EPAP positions. I don't recall anyone working on the local market but I know that there are British/American schools and there were expats at the university. - Mar 2025
Local university and international schools. - Jun 2021
Pretty much just at the embassy or international school. - Oct 2017
Some spouses telework, others have jobs at the American school while some work at the Embassy. Salaries for spouses tend to be about half what they would be in the U.S. - Oct 2016
I don't think so. Unless you can get a job at the Embassy. - Jun 2014
No. - Sep 2010
Not really. Perhaps for a self-motivated Russian-speaker. - Jul 2008
If you teach, there are opportunities. As for other opportunities, I'm unaware of them; however, they may exist. - Jan 2008
