Salary expectations for IT positions

14 years ago

Hey folks, I have really enjoyed the forum here and figured I pose some question for those that have experience.

I've been told that some of the big companies such as Lockheed, Northrup, ITT, Dynacorp and maybe CSA offers great benefits and salaries for IT positions within Kuwait. Recently this got me considering to make a move.

Recently, I did recieve an offer from one these companies but I wasn't too thrilled about the offer considering that I am planning on moving with my wife and kid and that offer did not have family relocation assistance.

My question is, what do you think I should be expecting as an average salary for IT positions that have 8-10 years of experience? I'm thinking the salary should at least be above $100,000.00/year to make a decent living and maybe save some money.

Also, do most of these companies offer family relocation assistance? Am I expecting too much here?

Thanks and regards.
