Oho Captain bhai jan, already sick of trump?

We have @partyslims who has moved from US to Pak. He can advise.

Also I think it was @firenze who had moved as well somewhere in Punjab.
@ehsan bhai may have a good idea.

@Pakistani Prince can be helpful too.

GS team will make sure you get all the possible help. And good luck!

Thank you for the pointers, will ping these guppies :k:

well all schools are money making points, a local from ISB would be able to guide you better, every other school have “American” brand…

as a job in Telecom sector, one of my Egyptian friend was working in Wateen few years back and as per him prospects are good in this sector…and looking at the calling rates and internet charges i guess it still have good prospects…

Agreed about schools, they are all in for making money, only reason I want my child to go there is to do last year of his schooling then he will move on to next stage. As for Wateen friend, if you can hook me up / leads, that will be good.

As far as applying for jobs is concerned, try to apply ahead of time. Don’t ignore government sector such as NADRA, High courts, Health sector, Universities, etc. They all have IT jobs.

Also I would suggest you to save money as cost of living has increased dramatically. I personally never saw much academic benefit in sending children to fancy schools. Knowing the right price of things will happen with little bit of time but it is essential for sensible living. Also don’t fret over for too long after you realize that you overpaid for something, just learn from the experience and move on with your life.

I am not too sure about applying ahead of time in Pakistan though it takes time for resume to get to right person, then all the processing till “hired-date” but ‘summer’ is too far I think, I could be wrong.

Regarding real estate , Everywhere in Pakistan , it is good business but need sharp man
you can develop a small project from half a million to a million $

Thank you for your advice, the ‘real-estate’ advice I am looking for is ‘where should I rent/ buy my residence?’.
