20k basic + benefits good for Qatar?

Thanks all for the advice.

Gave my response to them, now ill just have to wait and see!

lol....michael might be wondering how the hell did his thread about an employment offer got turned into a quiz guessing queen dee's boob size....

Welcome to Qatar, Michael :P

Think fuw is right - should try to nego for a villa. Accommodation is the budget buster. The QR30k per child should be ok - since 'me and you' pays 26k for her son at DESS.

UkEngQatar said Drac blame it on the weather its effing 45C outside..:)"

Ah yes... good thing I've escaped the roasting this year, after 2 summers... I tell peeps that it's like a hot, dry tandoori oven over there but no one believes me...

If I were you with 2 kids I wouldn't accept an apartment. There aren't many facilities for children here except maybe if you are lucky with your compound and it has some space for them. But the apartments here rarely have playspace for kids, so ask for a villa!

massive is a massive word

Massive boobs I have always found are a key employee skill

loool well, wasta here or back in my country? :P anyways i come from royalty (religion related matter) + i come from a huge family powerful if i may say. but no no wasta, why ur asking? :P

My neighbour works for 1000 QR per month, enjoy human exploitation :)

queen dee do you have a wasta?

The school fee is ok

Most English private Schools are on that range.

Anyway , both DESS and Parkhouse are on waiting list

Sherborne Qatar is 40 K an year.

The only school that is in the 50K range , is ASD . And it's an American school.

Due to many complains locally, there have been reports that Supreme council of education would step in before the next school year to reduce private schools tuition fees

a huh ukeng? loool

im just stating the obvious man :P

queen dee,

are you a double dee ?..:)

someone bit your pickle WK?

okay well im white, i do speak english (thats a +) and got boobs (massive essential) so u guys stand no chance :P i'll be ruling muwahahahaha

Khawaga I can get you a job but free speech is banned in Qatar so don't want to break the law. Let's wait for genesis and bleu, they will tell you how to break law without breaking the laww. Yes they are confusing here.

No wonder sales of fair and lovely are massive in this part of the world...... use for a year and you can be head of the govt....

Also whats that men version of fair and lovely called? have you tried that yet?

WK I know a good plastic surgeon from the States working in Doha, he claims to have helped MJ on one of his operations!

Sorry Drac enjoy what exactlyin your cave? I have lots of thoughts running wild in me ead!

WK: simply be white and be the head of a government company? Where can I apply?? lol

UkEng I have decided today that I will question everything :)

I know they will deport me soon as truth is not valued here unless it comes from genesis and bleu... I need to speak my mind and no amount of money can make me stay here.. 31st March 2011, have to wait :)

Enjoy in my cave! :)

Drac blame it on the weather its effing 45C outside..:)

Cool down, good people!

lol guys, I am calm, I spent the last 12 hours all around Qatar and saw so much exploitation, I loved it.. All of you contributed to the study

No not fed up. Learn not to take life too seriously, otherwise I'd be lucky to get out of life alive

School fees for one child could be well above 50.000 per year.

calm down WK.

Michaeel. Ask more for the kids education atleast the double what they are offering

WK...take it easy...go offline for a while...refresh and then come back else you will keep reading the same stuff...:)

Y Gov only; can be GM of Pvt Co as well.

ES I got fed up man... Aren't you?

ask for more.

michaeel your English is not perfect and you have white skin, You can be the head of some government company in Qatar as you satisfy the basic requirement, no English, be white.

WK what's got into you?

with half a salary :P lmfao

whyteknight, by your assesment showing my skin colour might not do much good, as im English born and raised but of Arab origin so my skin is not that "white". so where does that leave me :)

for a senior position you should be asking for more! The benefits are good but you should be aiming for 25k per month salary! especially for British citizen! (paid the most)

Very good offer in current times when construction industry is going through rough period.

I guess the offer is good. you should go for it. house rent is one of major monthly expenditures here and since your company is taking care of it, you should be in comfortable situation.

No 30k will more than cover the school fees at all schools, so you will be okay. I think DESS is one of the highest but its a good school.

Thanks me and you, its actually 30k per child so would that generally be enough or are most schools above that per year per child?

I think its a good offer. Not many places offering all what you have been offered.

30,000 QR will not cover both children so you will have to put some to yourself. My son currently goes to DESS which is one of the best school here but it comes at a price. 26,010 QR per year. The waiting list is VERY long too and will be for most of the good schools here so my advice is get in touch with the schools ASAP!

Our youngest who is 5 has missed out on 1 year at school because there was no space for her so keep in mind you may not be able to get a place just yet.

Hope this helps :-)

For some people it's a dream salary, but with your education & your experience I would say 'not bad'

yes good offer

School fees may not be enough for the higher end british schools. Check.

Good offer. Go for it.
