Yekaterinburg - Post Report Question and Answers
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?
For EFMs, there are opportunities to work at the consulate, full-time or part-time. I recommend having a security clearance in advance of coming to post, if possible. Russian labor laws do not allow spouses of diplomats to work locally. - Feb 2020
There is no local-based employment as we are not allowed to work on the local economy. You can apply for some jobs at the consulate but most need high-level clearances and options are few. I was doing online studying during our tour so employment was not my concern. - Aug 2018
None. - Aug 2010
Not while we were there. - Jan 2008
