Nice job on getting 5 years of experience at 26 mate. I guess. I'm almost walking in your shoes, I'll be on par with you by the time I'm 26.

Anyways, You seem to have a diverse exposure. Which is good as you can grab opportunities that come almost along those lanes. But I doubt if Doha is the right spot for you.

You might get lucky with an a job relating to an Electrical domain and even SAP or ERP/BPR, but you can wipe out any hopes of game testing.

The thing is Doha has developed only in a short span of time, say 10 years or lesser. Due to this, the diversity of the development is limited. There are opportunitites for the Energy Sector, Manufacturing of construction materials, Finiancial sector, Travel, Hotels and yea...quite a lot of administrative work.

When I mean there are opportunities, I mean, you have to really slog and find out the job for you. Thats the way it works in Qatar.

Then again, if you get accepted by the company, you still need labor clearance. This clearance is done by the labor department here, they scan you profile and lets the company know if you can work here in Qatar. Many people will tell you different theories for the success of this clearance, but bottomline..its classified as a hurdle.

But then its like any other hurdle, for example, its the same hurdle to get a work permit in the UK.

Hope this information helps.
