I'm contented with my salary, otherwise I wouldn't have signed the contract, would I? The situation might be different after my current contract ends though.
I mean...Switzerland is supposed to be the country of banks and money...so we aren't we the rich ones, buying half of qatar with our wonderful Swiss francs, har har har har....
Doha, I'm coming! Ducks in Doha from 12th - 18th of May :)
I love my job and I have a very good salary. I get paid roughly 45,000 riyals a month. The work week is supposed to be 48 hours and yes i'm in my office sunday thru thursday but i actually only work maybe 1-3 hours a week. I have every friday and saturday off and if there is a american holiday i sometimes have 3 or 4 days off in a week and still get paid for it. I don't think i'm leaving doha anytime soon.
hmm...this will probably come across as sour after all the positive posts....but...I'm overworked and underpaid...heck I work for Al Jazeera...with inflation, the US $ declining, I have no choice but to leave....
Seriously, I'm not a sour person...

PM, aren't Americans exempt from income taxes if they make less than USD80,000?
For Canadians, the government likes to think up new ways to tax us. We already pay 45% in taxes (30% income tax & 15% sales tax). This tax money is used to fund useless social programs. The government is so embarrassed about these programs that they won't admit how much they spend in these programs. As you can see, I'm right-leaning.
In the 4 years working in Qatar, I'm overpaid and under-worked. My salary is much higher than the industry average for this line of work (adult language instruction). I'm not complaining but am grateful that God has blessed my family for four years. My classroom time: 20 hours per week. Double that with planning, preparing, and committee work but still, I think, it's underworked.
dw was telling me about the Koreans toiling in Ras Laffan for 16 hours a DAY (not a cushy per week) and making next to nothing. So...I can't complain about getting my cake and eating it too!
As far as i knew, one didnt have to pay taxes till they got their monies back into the US. thats better than canada where u have to pay taxes every year...

j mohan- where do u work that they take afternoon naps? I call that a siesta and is usually reserved for those that work outside to aviod the miday heat. I surely would not feel like coming back into work after a nap!
I am happy with my Salary and my Job, if I were not happy, I would have left as the job market is booming all over the world these days. If looking around it is easy to double my Salary(even Triple it), but I am happy in Qatar and therefore staying.
Qatar's winter months are brimming with unmissable experiences, from the AFC Asian Cup 2023 to the World Aquatics Championships Doha 2024 and a variety of outdoor adventures and cultural delights.

only my son is less than 21... but surely there must be some tax lawyers that could help the situation.
I'm only telling the truth!
As PM's latest adopted son (or maybe second latest ) I can whole heartedly recommend her as a mom. LOL

I agree w/QT. I am very happy with the $ I make now but I was every bit as happy making less and having more free time. Time=$ i guess, ha
Mitch
Working time is like crazy...why do they break for noon?
What is the point of the afternoon break? It doesnt make any sense to me.
Do people like to sleep for 1 hour in the afternoon and then getup and
come back to the office to work?
Then why dont they come back to the office after dinner?
i was not satisfied wid my pocket money(SALARY).....so i went 2 labour dept.(MOM) 2 su my dad ....so its ok now...heehe
