Professor of Marketing

Hi, I am a Professor of Marketing and am being offered a similar post in Bahrain. I teach at the MBA and PhD level in India and have 11 years of teaching experience. I may wish to move to Bahrain with my wife and a daughter who is in class 6 now. What salary can I expect there? Also what will be my expenses for accommodation and schooling of my daughter?

Dear gg123

Best wishes on the job offer in Bahrain. It is a nice place to live and work.

We have had detailed discussions on cost of living in Bahrain over the past few months and have listed out all the links to those discussions here: https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=337348

In addition the Definitive Guide will also be very useful. It is at this link: https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=231960

Once you have had a chance to go through these, please do let us know if you have any follow up questions.

Farhaz Sir, I have seen the links given by you. My basic question remains unaddressed. What level of salaries do they pay Professors at PG level?
Thanks in advance

The simple answer is no one can say with certainty.

It depends on a number of factors, such as institution, the availability of resources, student population, etc.

Salary levels vary in Bahrain. And there no set standard. Marker forces dictate everything. Negotiate a good package. Something that will make it worth your while to make the move.

Best wishes.

Sir,
Got the message. Thanks ton. Will contact you for further info once the deal is closed.

No matter what they offer you salary wise, negotiate and try to get a better salary and more allowances. Never, ever accept the first offer they give you.

Thanks for the advise. Can you help with an estimate of monthly exp+house rent?
Also my daughter is in class 6 and what will the approx schooling exp?
This info will enable me to negotiate better.

For an idea of schooling costs here is a link to the British School Fee Schedule:

As to accommodation it depends on what you are looking for and where.  Have a look at Bahrain Property World to get an idea of what is around and the type of costs - but remember to always negotiate.  ]

Sarah, thanks a lot for the inputs and advise.

You can get a good villa from BD650 - BD maximum or you can get a good apartment from BD250 - BD maximum

Schooling is expensive and spaces limited. If you do decide to move here then start the school search immediately. Don't forget they will be closing for the summer too

Thanks a lot. Information is very useful and will take your advise.
Regards
gg

Good luck, please let us know how you get on
