Astana - 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?

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
