Is this a fair salary for Doha
Hello, hope all is well. I am looking for this forums input to determine if the following is a fair salary or not. Base salary of QR20,000/mn. Housing provided by company, including utilities, med/health insurance, transportation allowance equivalent to the purchase of a vehicle, provided monthly and in cash. end of service benefit of 3 mn salary and a yearly bonus undetermined at this time. Annual air fare for me and wife. Cell phone QR300/mn. Any and all input is greatly appreciated. I am located in North America and the company is flying me out to Doha very soon to finalize employment and to meet and greet. Thanks for the information, DelBoch
Your annual income is proportional to your age and experience. We all agree a 25 year old and a 55 year old should not be making the same money. It is also very difficult to give advice to people on this site when they ask "is this a good offer?", when the job description and the experience/age of the person is not given. We all appreciate the fact that lawyers (if this thread is all about), are one of highest paid group of individuals in the West along with surgeons, whether they work for salary or in private practice. You can be sure, in the West, they make in the multiple six digits.
It's not worth repeating requests from another thread.
Dear Sir,
Happy to see your comment in QATAR LIVING site. I would like to have some sort of information similar to this question. I think you will be the right person to answer this sort of query's.
I am from INDIA, I have been offered by an company for QR 4100 basic + ot + accomdation + food + air ticket. I am having 3.5 yr experience in India & 1 yr in Dubai. Is that offer is worthy to accept? Please advice..
Regards,
UPPILI
I'm a Qatari and get around 21k with NO housing, and no transport.
I also work in the Legal Department.
I suggest taking it. 20k base with everything paid for is GREAT!
That's pure profit in your pocket!
People on this site make me laugh sometimes. I feel like we've got millionairs from all over the world coming to work in Qatar and won't be happy with anything under 50 million a month with 7 houses paid.

All these comments are good, but what is job? that is the main question to establish if this is good or not so good.
If you're posting for "senior lawyer", it's not so good. Lawyers in private practice in North America make minimum $150/hr +, that means $ 22,500/m, double (after taxes) of what you're gonna be making in Doha. Unless you're not native North American and you're moving closer to home...
Thanks to all who have responded.
If everything is provided (including school fees if you have kids) it's a decent offer.
As they say u should see how much u can get at ur home and then deiced, so if u make 2* more then come and stay for 1 or 2 year so u make a good money .
Any way i just want to tell that i live here with my husband and my boy (not in school yet) and we spend less than u will get so i think it is ok
It seems like your only expense would be food and entertainment, and if this is true this seems like a pretty good deal!
You could save a lot of money with this salary.

N america....
from US or canada? or alaska?
if u make 200U$ or 2500 canadian $$...this is good $$$
if u make the same 5000 U$ back home, why do you leave your country to this dull desert?

an indonesian make 7x more then his pay back home.
a philipino make 4x
singaporean makes 2x
malaysian makes 3x
european makes 1.5x
n america..makes 1.5x
s american makes 2x or 3x depends on the passport.
are you better off here or home ??????
if you cannot take it, leave it !!
I wouldn't take it...
But some make only a couple grand a month and do...
Think about it???
All you stuff is paid...
Duh...
If the money is same what you makein states and everything is provided???
I'm really sick of these...
People are so...
You can't teach experience...
