But right now I feel that my time in Africa is coming to an end, dealing with all those daily operational challenges (starting from constant power outages, endless traffic jams etc. up to fraudulent staff, high staff turnovers and a low educational standard) are just getting too annoying and I would like to get back to Europe, at least for a while.

You won't escape power outages, endless traffic jams, fraud and high staff turnovers by coming to Malta. Although it obviously won't be as prevalent as it probably is in your current location.

That's fine, I didn't expect it. I've been to Malta few times, and the cost of living are way below expat-standards in Lagos... Sure you can live for 2 Dollars a day if you really want to, but any amenities have to be imported and are crazy expensive, so I wouldn't really mind a reduction.

You have very modest expectations. If you live and work in the same town you can make do without a car but otherwise I suggest you get one. You can live comfortably with your wife on an aggregate income of 40k. However, the more you earn the more you can save for your retirement and the sooner you can retire. Your standard of living is bound to be much better here than it is in Lagos so you should seriously consider the offer you have.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was hoping for. Lagos is a very tiring place, especially securitywise - absolutely no movemend is possible without a car with private driver, I can't even walk to the nearest shop and do my groceries on my own. Feels like a golden cage... Even Liberia during the height of the Ebola outbreak didn't feel as restrictive, and it was truly bad.

Will definitely proceed with the interview and see what comes up, but either way my interest in Malta is growing constantly now that I'm reading more on the economic development etc, my previous visits were all touristy, so I didn't bother too much.

Thanks again for the invaluable input!

Hi i was wondering what is the average salary for a laboratory job with 1-2 years experience.
I am considering coming in august 2016 and i was wondering if there are available vacancies and what is the salary of them

Quite unlikely that you will find in short time a laboratory job without having local certifications and at least basic knowledge of Maltese language. Better to consider a Customer Service salary (15 - 20k) for the beginning  and then learn Maltese, let recognise your certificates and start applying for lab jobs ...
btw, entry salary in local Pharma/Chem firms as lab worker (no degree) the salary will not be more than about 12k, with BSc degree about 15k, with MSc from 20k

Hi

Is it normal to do a 50 hour week in Malta in an admin role ? Thanks

No, not normal, and actually even illegal !
Normal working hours per week for full time job are 40, can be extended up to 48 is necessary due to business situation. Everything above 48 hrs (even occasionally) requires written consent of the employee.
