hi
i just got an offer to work in qatar as an engineer. the package:
- basic salary - US$ 300/day
- duration - 3 months extendable
- Accommodation - approximately US$ 1400/month
what's your opinion?
the company has yet to provide info on:
- transportation
- visa & management cost
- flight tickets
- numbers of working days
and what about:
- medical or/and life insurance
- mobile phone or/and simcard
what else do i need to consider about living in qatar?
thanks
The offer of USD 300/day is surely enough for you to take the offer. Being said that, since the contract is for a very short period I'd advise against putting up roots here until you get a more secure placement.
If you are single and for short period you should negotiate the other facilities like transportation, air ticket and the others which will cost you a lot.If you are planning to come with your family (wife and kids) then the package is not enough. You should think of 350 $ or above per day plus a minimum accommodation allowance of $ 2200. The other facilities are to be discussed and finalized in along with the offer.
Still all of the above depends on your qualification and experience.
Why only 3 months even if they say it's extendable? They should offer a two-year extendable contract at least.
And you need to at least double the accomidation...And if kids in school forget it
