Do you need a masters to get a job at BAE?

They used to SAY that you needed one but I have known people who got a job without one.
Do you really want to work for a bunch of brainless ex-RAF types and their Saudi counterparts ?

i don't want to work. . . full stop. but for that kind of $$$ i'd do it.

Salaries are sometimes lower but people last longer with other employers.

I would not recommend BAe to anyone - even some of the real horrors who post here.

Scott47,

i don't want to stay in Saudi long term so that's no concern. i think i can stomach a year or 2 of hell. is BAe really all that bad? why?

Like all those military jobs in Saudi Arabia, it combines the horrors of being in a military set-up with teaching poorly-motivated and less able students.

Scott47!!!!

you are being droll, aren't you? ooohhh, i'm shivering with fear at the horror of having to teach unmotivated and dim students! no amount of $$$ is worth that! i was expecting tales of Saddam-like torture and oppression!

I shoudn't answer for someone else, I know, but I think what Scot meant was that there are better deals in KSA, where you can work in a decent environment for the same money. I don't think his response desrves your sarcasm.

i didn't mean to be rude. yes i used sarcasm but not with malicious intent. i'm asking scot47 for information so i wouldn't intentionally bite his hand. i don't think he will be offended. he's not that sensitive.

anyway, back to the questions about BAe. . .

I have never heard anyone say anything good about BAe - apart from the money. But they have high turnover. You can get a deal where you will get nearly as much money but a lot less stress.

Britsih Aersoapce is based in Preston in NW England. You have to go there for an interview. they will probably not hire you from inside KSA. Try them and see.
