I have got an offer in qatar with basic salary of 18000 QR plus other allowances. So totaly it will come around 31000 QR per month. They will not provide me the accomodation. I am living with wife and 2 kids. Is the package offered is good ? Can anybody tell me what will be the rent for an 2BR accomodation in qatar coz I am new to this place.

Girish, QP will provide housing. And the take home should be more like 20K. Will meet up when I come to Doha. Flying out tomorrow aren't you?

You need 10k for a housing, nothing fancy, thrn u need 4k for groceries and another 4k for the kids activities then 2k for a small car. then 2k for school and 3k for u and the wife,then the rest u will spend with unforseen expenses so u will maximum save 2k per month, if thats enough then go for it. dont get me wrong, i'm not saying its a bad offer but dont think that its agreat one either.

31k is not a good offer if you want to live a decent life, add school and medical expenses and trips baxk home u will end up just living without any savings.

Rent 8-9k per month

utilities around 1000.

Petrol: Dirt cheap

School: 500- 2000 pm

Car 1700 pm for rental lancer

if u dont like going to government clinics/hospital than medical can be expensive.

without insurance, per visit might cost 200 plus medicines.
