I started 3rd world contracting after the military, mostly warzones, remote sites, mining doing logistics, security and operations management. Its love/hate for most of us. I dont mind the environments, main stress for me is always having to look for new jobs. Its an unstable industry, a lot of your downtime is spent requalifying certificates or getting new ones in different countries to be attractive to the next employer. We say its like being a 'B-list actor'- okay pay, travel, but you never know whether you get the next gig. Covid has really slowed everything down anyway. Not sure how much of our job type will exist in this 'new normal' they are rolling out..
