Hi everybody,
I recently got a job offer in a Hotel in Doha.
The company will provide me accomodation and food. What I want to ask is: is my salary acceptable? Its QR 3.500
I received my contract yesterday, so please guys help me to decide if it is good idea to sign it. Thank you all very much.

DoraTheExplorer...

you use the term snork or smurf rather than the F word...

for example...

Doubledown777 is an ugly mothersnorker.

What the smurf?!?!?!

The question is to be answered by you. Do you want that much? Don't ask people, ask yourself, bec. if ;you think you like that enough, then that will be fine..but if you think you deserve more, then leave it..

The lowest salary for the hotel is QR 1400 for a 5 star. But, that`s all ur pocket money. U can have all meals in the cafetaria at the hotel. Depend on how`s ur lifestyle dear. But, as start I believe it will be enough for u.

While I was coming from my vacation, I met a Macedonian guy. He was also coming Doha for work. He used to work in Dubai. And he got an offer as a Barmen with 3500 or sth like that. He was expecting more from tips. Anyway according to him, salary range in your country is very low. But believe me 1100 QAR is nothing. I am spending around 3000-3500 just for food. Workers taking more than this amount. So try to get more, otherwise do not accept it.

With that salary, my dear, you will not survive here. Just buying your basic needs will cost you half of your salary. How about in case of emergencies? NO! Don't accept it..

doubledown...three months? you're still practically a newbie...i don't think you're the best person to get advised from...but don't get me wrong, it's appreciated...

anyway, to the thread starter, i think your salary is enough..if you're given accommodation, food & transport...

The salary is enough/acceptable or not is depened on yoru designation...how you could be specific without knowing your offered designation? the labour might get 600 and gm might get 30000...

they will give us furnished accomodation, meals, transport to and from the hotel, payed anual leave and life and medical insurance. So those QR 3500 are our pocket money.

By doubledown777• 2 Feb 2009 07:27
doubledown777

if you are here to save and keep you head down and work it is enough for you:). PM if you need to know anything specific about Qatar, ive been here three months now and i pretty much know the country

they give you. I suspect you will get Accomodatio, Food and Transport also, so it all depends on how you want to live. If you go with the bare neccesities and whats given then you can save, if you want to travel and enjoy yourself and party then it may not be enough as Doha can be really expensive ...
