By jovial

Greetings!
I am Dr. Jovial, a surgeon with 6 years of experience. My wife is a dentist with 4 years experience. Both of us are from India.
We have been offered a job in doha qatar. The salary that I am being offered is basic 7000 QR;bonus 2000 QR;allowances 1200 QR; accommodation allowance 5000 QR. My wife is being offered 7000 QR only.
Is this a good offer?
Would I be able to save, considering that the cost of living in qatar are pretty high (from what i gathered at your site)?
Could you kindly let me know
a) what are the average house rents in qatar (furnished/unfurnished)?
b) how much would the cost of living be for 2 adults and 1 child (5 month old)?
c) is the salary that is being offered on par with other hospitals ?
I would be most grateful to you for your feedback. Thanking you in advance. regards, jovial

The salaries for both of you are very less compared to market standard, please renegotiate and it should be two and half times more what they offered now. Good Luck!

Both your salaries are too less, especially accomodation here is very expensive ..

try to find a way to apply in HAMAD hospital for both of you, I know that they have vacancies now and their salaries are much better from your offer.
