I recently got a job offer from Qatar Airways. A total salary package of 13,800.00:

Basic 9000.00
Housing 3500.00
Transportation 1000.00
Utilities 300.00

Is this a good offer for Job Grade 7??

Thank you Formatted,

I don't think a USD 1K saving worth moving to Doha . . .

A studio apartment will cost not less that 4.5K.You cannot rent a car for Qr. 1000 maybe you can buy a very small car for 5 yr loan..the monthly payment will be around 1000. Then your food..etertainments...utilities...

maybe you can save 3000 to 4000/- depending on your lifestyle.

Thank you all for your thoughts on this.

What do you think the maximum I can save if I move alone, rent a studio and live a normal life . . . not a fancy one.

Eco-Savvy,

Do you mean they offer 2 bedroom Co. accommodation for Grade 7? I mentioned that I prefer Co. accommodation during my interview . . . but they said no

This isnt a very high offer neither a very low offer. If you are married and having kids you may find it difficult to run with your salary, specially the housing cost is very high here, and you will have to bear the school fees as well. you can just have a room for 3500qr. But If you hope to live alone you will be able to save some money. I wish you all the best!
