I agree with tooba. 3000 is simply zilch. Ask them for 5000. If they ridicule you. Tell them to shove it. Unless, you are spouse who is a part of a household which has other earners, 3000 is simply nothing.

hi there,

I feel it depends on your experience and the organization itself with regards to the salary/pay scale.

some organizations provide low salary and some provide more...it also depends on your experience....as said by other QL members if you are experienced enough than I suggest you demand atleast 5000+ from them.... or if its starting point for you then 3000+ with little more addition for housing+transportation (lets say 3500)will be a good start for you.

best of luck!

Are you about to get this job? Do you have any other offers from prospect employers? 3000 is very good for a start and you have to ask this company about the employee's benefits. You better make-up your mind on this job fast because once you're satisfied with answers, it will be gone.

Hello! I would say QRS 3000/- basic salary for a secretary is good enough if this is your starting position,some companies do pay a little more than that but it's irrelevant as long as you are going to get a good experience,it depends on the company itself if they grant benefits to the employees,you have to confirm with your company,good luck!
