Is this a good job offer?
hi,
A friend of mine has been offered a position in Doha with a broadcasting company. He has a family with one child. They have offered him the following:
15000 Riyals p/m
3 bed villa - furnished
Education
Medical
Family Flight home (one per year)
Do you think this is a good oppurtunity for them to move out to Doha and will they be able to save much?
Thanks
*bump*
Are the management negotiable at all?
And what about a transport allowance?
I've read some of the other threads/posts here that mention a transport allowance, and it does seem as though travelling around can be problematic, with public transport not really an option, and taxis being scarce.
What's the score with transport allowances?
It should be more than he is making now, where ever he lives. Food, school, cars are all expensive here. It is more expensive to live in Doha than most, if not all of the USA.
Which school will they pay for? Good ones cost more.
What medical plan, in country only or worldwide?
Are we having fun YET?
If hes getting free accom in the form of a 3 B/room villa, I'd say that its a pretty good offer! His Gross package would probably come to 30,000 QR otherwise!
Don't let one man's dream become another's nightmare
I can see where bhappy is coming from. Rightly on wrongly, that is the practice in this part of the world.
I suggest that you think things through before you criticise.
If bhappy tells him to insist on a greater salary, he probably will not get the job.
wat u said is th most ignorant thing i ever heard , when u gona stop judging people by thier nationalities and color instead of their education levels , experinece and skills .people like u maximize the gap between here and the western world and to b more clear ...this is called discremination ,.grow up plzzzzzzzzzzz.
Sorry, I meant not managemant.
He works with satellites. Not a professional, but highly technical.
Perhaps we should know his job before we suggest salaries.
Hi there,
You have not mentioned from where he is moving to Qatar. i.e what is his nationality. Assuming that he is comming from westren world, this is an accepatble but not a good offer. His basic salary should be in the range of 20,000 - 25,000 Qr. Again what is his profession,that also matters. So, If he is a westerner I would suggest to negotiate a bit more
Thank you for your feedback abc150. I will let him know.
It is a very good offer but I think he can bargain a bit on basic salary (1000-2000 QR)
