    It's what a fair chunk of them end up doing. OP, don't get your hopes up. There'll be a line of retired guards looking a job like this and they would be ideal candidates for the embassy.


    Why? It's not a security job, it's driving. No harm in anyone applying for a job and getting it on their own merits.

    Job advertisement, very easy to find in fairness. Looks like a decent gig. 25 hour week would give a perfect work/life balance imo.

    No need to worry OP, I've taken the job.

    Seemingly the salary's gets topped up they said bonuses . I have to make some regular trips between the Russian embassy and some golf course on the west coast.

    Sounds good to me the bonuses were heavy.

    Indeed! Going by what was posted in this thread, it took me less than 10 seconds to find that ad.

    " S/he must be able to work a flexible schedule during irregular hours falling outside the normal Embassy work schedule, i.e., evenings, weekends, and holidays."

    Doesn't sound like perfect work life balance to me

    US tax or Irish tax? The Embassy is part of the USA.

    Come on now, you came on here looking for advice and you spoon fed information to us and people still tried to help.
    Posting a link to the job is hardly asking for much but seeing as you couldn't be bothered doing that why should anyone continue to help you.
    Good luck with the 18k

    But the job is outside the USA.
    The US embassy is a registered employer here in ireland and in cases like this will hire and pay you as an irish taxable employee. Although sometimes they will hire you as a 3rd party contractor which would be a pain in the arse for €14 an hour.

    I think they only treat US citizens hired in the US for embassy roles as american tax employees. No double taxation.

    I would have thought €28,000 for a 25 hour week is good going on an admin level. Not many people I'd know would have such conditions unless, well....I could go on but don't want to be viewed as politically incorrect.

    It's not 28k for 25 hours.

    If you are a brain surgeon - no.
    If you are a bus eireann driver - even more no.
    If you are a man holding a sign at traffic lights advertising the nearest takeaway - yes.

    If you are a Luas driver - definitely no.

    It's 18k for 25 hours.
    The security guard would be a better paid job and it has extra payments for weekend work.
