Hi everyone!

I have been offered a job in Qatar but not really sure what to do as I think the salary is very low. It's 3000 riyals a month. Accommodation and transport are included in the employment package but I can't stop thinking about the salary for a full-time position. I also know that Qatar is a very expensive country.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance!

it depends on which position,, the questions in this forum is always incomplete, and the guys wanted us the readers to guess and reply !!!!

if the job offer is for a Officeboy / Peon, the salary is good !!!!

if you have no job at hand and really in desperate mood, the salary is good !!!!

whats the position, and what's your nationality. pay is based on your race here. 3000 per month is a ridiculously low salary considering what the cost of living is. you'd probably be living in a shack and be treated like dirt.

shameful people offer such low salaries in a country with the highest per capita in the world.

I'm not being chosy and I applied to the position in the heat of the moment. I only need a bit of advice about the salary!

you think the offer is low? then forget it and look elsewhere. But, If you don't have any higher offers yet, and has nothing to do with your time, why don't you give it a try.

...listen to the sound of silence....
