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 people that I know that want a job have found something, either at our Embassy or at other missions. Quite a few spouses telecommute. - Jul 2019
Most stay at home. It may be possible to find a job at an international organization or as a teacher, but opportunities are limited. - Nov 2016
Unless you arrive with a job, it will be hard to find one. The jobless rate here is 60% plus. If you are able to telecommute, that is a viable plan. For the most part, the internet can accommodate telecommuting. If you are with the Embassy, you are asked even before arriving: "Are you planning to work?"Jobs with the Embassy are few and far between. If working is a prime concern for you, and you have a meaningful well paying job with upward advancement possibilities, think long and hard about giving it up for two years. - Jun 2016
Not really - you might find something, but pay is going to be very low. - May 2016
Probably not. - Aug 2015
