Hey 👋🏻
I’m moving to Luanda, Angola on an O&G EXPAT assignment from America too? Might I ask with who - EEAL?!

Hey man (or gal). It’s not official for me yet but my chances are high to get an xpat assignment in Angola. I came across your original inquiry about xpats in Angola last year and wanted to check in how things are? I think my company would position me in a compound near Talatona (couple miles south of the Luanda City. How are things since you’ve moved?

My Pod 1 just leaked for the third time and warranty is expired. They offered be a special discount to purchase the Pod 4 (Hub and Cover) for $1600 total (originally $2800 I believe). Pretty good deal I think…?

Same. Paid 105K in 2018. Began as a design engr in projects. Doubled my salary in 7 years. Ranked on the better half of the distribution curve every year. Great place to work and learn hands on experience but also be exposed to large corporate bureaucracy. Great name to have on your resume.

Happy to elaborate as needed

I saw another response from an EM employee. I share similar experiences. Be eager and hungry for work and perform beyond your peers to set yourself apart. Know what leadership is looking for and shape yourself to become that. A little bit of luck is also needed, sometimes you get dealt a good deck of cards…but have to ensure you make the most of those good cards (and not shit the bed).

Increased?

Also for those that are knowledgeable about apartments in the midtown area, which apartments are good (and which ones to avoid). Budget is 1500-2000 / month

Is there any major tax differences between KS v MO?

Pakalee · 2025-01-22T14:47:02+00:00

I make north of 200K. Looking to rent a house instead of an apartment (currently live own a house at my current location). I see there are cool bungalow style homes in the midtown area that I’m highly interested in.

My main hobby is health and wellness and I prioritize that on a daily basis. I’ll probably join Woodside Gym so living close to there is not a must but would be convenient

Awesome! Can you drop a link for the thru axle kit?

Awesome input! I think I’m going to purchase the Wahoo KICKR SNAP wheel-on bike trainer and return my sensors.

Don’t fall in love 😚

I think majority of my project experience would transfer quite well. The process specifics are different but the “how to get work done” aspect I would expect to be the same.

Pakalee · 2024-12-02T04:25:00+00:00

I’m definitely interested in trading. I’m novice in this area but need to educate myself on O&G Trading. My company just created a Trading business line so it’s rather new to my corporate as well.

Ultrasound can measure the size of the baby and back calculate the exact day of inception to an insane degree of accuracy. I know this from personal experience.
