how long have you been an engineer? looks fair but i agree with everyone, ask them to just pay you the allowance and live out. gives you more freedom on finding cheap accomodation and save up some money.

on the downside, qs usually gets paid heaps more but if you are a newly grad thats more than enough.

good luck.

Thank u, now i am confident that the offer for me is quite fair so i will accept it and work hard. .By d way do you have an idea how much would a room with two bedroom will cost per month? kasi may kasama ako na sabay ko na magttrbho din sa Doha after 1 month pwede na kming mag-live out so we will find a room that we could share. Yung malapit po sa Industrial Area St. 39 (malapit po ba ang lugar na ito sa city?). Thank you for your effort and Godbless!

actually, it would be my first time to work as a QS, do you think the offer fits for me as a first timer in that position? If I request that I wanna go out from the accomodation, how much shall i ask? will 2500 be enough?

low... tell us about your experience, that how much experience you are holding? if you just want to enter, then ok, you can start,but still little bit negotiate. here they don't increase salaries quickly. after one year it will become 5000, and then will slowly go own.. you can go thru the search tab, find out may be it help you out..best wishes,

Salary depends sa experience at position, try to claim your accommodation and transportation in cash, then hanap ka ng bahay outside company accommodation, transportation maraming nag proprovide dito. Ask ka ng QR2500 for housing and transportation.

The offer given to you is very common here in Qatar for us QS from the far east. That should be fair if you have no more than 3 years of QS experience in GCC region. They should also be providing you with annual flights for holidays. Make the most of it and congratulations.

Very low kabayan, try to raise it to QR 7000. And it is much better to ask for transport and housing allowance.
