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?
There are plenty of jobs at the Consulate, often more openings than available EFMs. The management of the consulate seems to bend over backwards to help EFMs. The work opportunities are varied and interesting. A number of EFM's work at home/virtually. I do not know of anyone who works in the local marketplace, which has a much lower salary level. - Aug 2022
