New Offer

By P.G.

Offer specific:
Basic 25000
School 85000 (for 3 kids)
Accommodation 3 bedrooms
Annual airline tickets to US

1. How much would other monthly expenses (food + utilities + gas...) be?

2. and how much (approximately) one can save from this package?

I know these questions may have been asked many times, but I would like to get direct answers to my situation since this will be the first time I'll accept a job outside the US.

Thanks for & best wishes to all.

Better if you ask for them to cover the cost of the schoo for 3 children instead of giving you a lump sum, as the costs are always changing. Look under Doha College and you can see the current school fees, American school is 1/3 more than Doha College.

Great that you package includes accomidation as the prices are insane.

Good luck

ur saving will depend on ur living standards. If you spend lavishly u will save less whereas with three kids, grocery and utilities will be around 4000qr or max 5000qr.

It looks good to me...read the contract for more benefits...before signing...

The figure is 25,000 so I assume it's in QR.

With housing provided it looks good to me if the housing is a villa. Living in a flat is no good for kids. Can't comment on school fees.

It obviously depends on the job and working hours.
