Your in a Muslim country now bro. You and your family are safe and your race or ethnicity is celebrated because ALLAH created you! Welcome
Correct, not illegal to be black here..a top reason we have no plans on moving back to the states.
Smashed it mate. Came across your page when I was looking for reasons to go to Qatar. I'm also in the Oil and Gas industry. I'll keeping knocking on those door till I make it. God bless!
Congratulations on the God-given opportunity that you have received. May you and your enjoy your time together over in the Middle East. God Bless You All.
Thank you ✊🏾
Im really happy for you bro. Hope you and your family will enjoy the peaceful life in Doha. I will also move to Doha with my family this year. Me and my family decided to move to Doha after our last trip last year. Byee Amsterdam, Hello Doha 👋🏼
That’s awesome! Any questions let me know
@@DKendrick1 Thanks bro
That is amazing, Dayton. Once you learn Arabic, Qataris will welcome you and treat as a family member. A totally different society to the self-centered Western society we live in. Wish you the best!
Starting Arabic classes this summer, it'll be language #4 for me. I know a few phrases, but need to be more conversational. It's not forced here so it makes learning a bit of a crutch.
Thanks for this video. its excellent 👌🏾 got 2 young kids myself. I’m in London and have been talking to a colleague of mine who’s lived and worked in Qatar the last 15 years. And I’m convinced that’s where I need to be, or at least somewhere in Middle East. Now it’s just how do I convince my Mrs? 😓
Since you’re in London, convincing is easy. One word: TAXES. You don’t pay any here and obviously you won’t have to pay any back home while as an expat. Also, depending on her career, she could find work here. My wife is the head nurse at American Scholl of Doha so lots of options here.
Such a decent guy, wish u all the best 🙏🏽
thank you!
Congrats brother
Thank you
I love this informative video of your journey to Doha!
This is amazing! I appreciate you for sharing. I have always wanted to live abroad.
Where are you willing to move to?
One of my favorite things about living abroad is crossing paths and creating life long friendships with people like you! Thanks for sharing DJ 🫰🏾
Appreciated Jaime, definitely a pleasure crossing paths with you. More content loading !
Love the UA-cam bro!
Thx bro
Aye Wassup Man! Great video.
That’s amazing! Best of luck to you and your family!
What are some other common opportunities for someone looking to move there for work without an actual career?
Seeing as you’ll need a work visa/sponsor to come here, that route may be extremely difficult.
Hi,
I’m Farjana I found your UA-cam channel search. due to video (SEO)optimization problems on your channel, the video is not getting viral and views, likes, and comments. Your problems need to be fixed very soon.
no thanks
This is great Bro, I appreciate you for your Openness.
I'm New in Qatar....will like to meet with you
I'm open to it
Your content is really effective 👍
How can one know a real recruiter ?
I was approached via LinkedIn
Dope
It’s to fun over there!
Great video bro. Very inspiring. How did you get in your field? Also is there a lot IT positions there?
Been in oil and gas since 2007, went back and completed my MBA in 2019, mix of IT and Trading roles on the business side. Definitely IT positions available here. My opportunity in Doha came from LinkedIn
@Dkendrick1 did you indicate on your LinkedIn profile that you were interested in working in Qatar?
Great episode bro. 💯
Congratulations 🎉I am so happy for you.. God bless !
Thank you
Im wanting to move to qatar but insure whay jobs to look for or scholorships to study to get a good job over there any advice ?
Not too sure on the scholarship piece, my opportunity came through recruitment via LinkedIn. I’d start there if I woke up in your shoes
Are you aware of any Civil Engineering positions? Mainly horizontal (road and bridge construction)
I haven’t seen any at my company, QatarEnergy
Just followed your ig, your story is touching brother. I have plans to move abroad as well by god’s permission. Qatar seems lovely for a family.
Thanks for following, greatly appreciated
I tried to message you but couldn’t but I have a few questions. For guy like myself who has trade skills in the automotive industry and not opposed to learning new skills before making a big move like yourself. Is it best to have something more significant under your belt before hand to manage the cost of living and expenses? Maybe in tech or oil industry since it’s in demand there? My concern would be the risk of struggling abroad while balancing the family life. I understand the no tax part. Would that mean I would make more money in a country like Qatar?
Great video Dayton. Is there a way to email you? Have been approached by a recruiter and have a few questions for you.
Message me on IG @dkendrick1 then I’ll send from there
Thank you for sharing your experience. My question is can you share any real estate agents you dealt with , trusted and liked

I like the backdrop more than the content 😂
I'm messing with you. It's very informative...
Oooh I’ve been waiting for this video!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Very welcome! More content coming
@@DKendrick1Hi! Is it anyway to contact with you? I am considering moving from NYC to Doha. Thank’s
@@Este819 message me on IG “@dkendrick1”
Next episode out yet?
Soon come
Amazing video very informative and helpful. Do you have any tricks or pointers to get recruiters recruiting in Dohas attention? Really looking forward to work out there very very soon!!
It’s helps to have specific domain knowledge in oil & gas, specifically LNG. But for me, it was a matter of the recruiter reaching out on LinkedIn
@@DKendrick1 Thanks for the advice!! My boyfriend lives out that way. I think you guys might be in the group chat he mentions together. Hopefully you guys can meet soon!
Do you still have to pay American taxes?
Only after $115k
Thanks for sharing the story! I would appreciate if you could share how you maintain all that you do.( i.e. content creation, exercise, professionalism, and family)? It could help me improve.
24 hours is a lot of time, I try to carve it out as best as I can. No secret recipe
Love to chat with you privately. Am a dad too
Hit me on IG “@dkendrick1”
Ready for a “day in the life” series! Blessings to you and your family, my friend.
Thx bro. That’s a good idea as well
I thought US Citizens had to pay federal income tax regardless of what country they made their money.
There’s no tax from the Qatar side, and the IRS waives up to $115k. When I filed last month, I didn’t owe anything. But I do offset with real estate holdings back in the states.
