I think you have to think twice before quitting your present job. Here the cost of living totally depends on you only. What life style you are going to have, you can only decide that. From my point of view that offered salary is not enough for the post mentioned!

There is a very simple formula for deciding if you should take a job offer in Qatar.

If your take home pay will be more in Qatar than your take home pay in your home country - take the job.

Obviously there are hundreds, if not thousands, of factors when deciding something like this. Sadly, no one on this site, except you, can figure out if this is a good opportunity. The truth is your standard of living isn’t going to be much different here than your home country; if you live with a dozen people at home you will probably have similar accommodations here. If you have a 8 bedroom mansion back home, you aren’t coming here for a bedspace in the industrial area.

Most expats come here for one reason, money. I’m sure there are exceptions, but if I had to pay taxes and all of my expenses – I would have never made the trip. So do your homework and research the cost of living here versus your home country, then make the decision for yourself.
