Was offered by QR a package of basic salary of 10,500QAR, accomomdation provided, transport allowance of 600QAR. Rejected the offer, thinking back, i am working in an International Airline in Singapore (pretty obvious). Was working for 5 year, with 2 years of airline experiences. The basic pay is approximately SGD4400. Well, was not at all excited by the offer, even though, they kept insisting that by working in Doha, it will add sparkle to my resume. When they proposed, i doubt they even consider what Singapore market is offering right now, after factoring your CPF contribution by the employer, 13th month payout and bonus, this is way too low. Furthermore, considering the relocation hassle and the uncertainty of having to quit and come back to Singapore to look for a new job in the event that i want to be back. Guess what, my colleague from China applied as well, just for fun of it and he was offered exactly the same as mine. He has no intention to leave but only to return to China but then, i just feel that it is insincere in my proposal package. He saved on accommodation but i dun, since i am already having a roof over my head and a car. Was surprised that they called me back and asked whether i am interested in travelling to Doha for a meeting when i have rejected the offer. Surprise surprise.

I have just received a call from Qatar Airways for an all expense paid interview in Qatar. I was wondering anyone help me with what kind of salary expectations I should have.

The job position that that are interviewing me for is in the Commercial department.

Any advice you can give is greatly appreciated.

Can someone tell us about general impression of Qatar Airways, are they a good employer, how it look like to work for them (general position, not cabin crew)?

Hi actuary,

The basic seems not bad for an entry-level position, but oher factors, like your qualifications, experiences, skill sets, also count.

Travel=Nil means no transport allowance or no free annual ticket to HK?

F'co

a little progress everyday adds up to big results

Qatar Airways has recently initiated a package proposal of revenue management entry post as follows:

Basic Salary: 9,300QR

Housing : Company provided

Travel: NIL

Is it reasonable and up to international standard?

Hi leo55699,

If they really offer you basic QR3900, then it's too low. You can easily find a job in HK with more than HKD10000 nowadays, esp with degree.

Either ask for more or stay in HK, unless you are really attracted about the Middle East.

All the best.

F'co.

Hi Think Twice

The offer deadline for my job is tomorrow, and I decided to wrote them an email to nego for a better offer.

Coz I still have chance to get into other airline in Hong Kong, therefore, I am not interested on going to Doha with a salary offer like that. Since I have to give up everything in Hong Kong, I think I deserve a better offer. What do you think?? and did they offer you a good package?

Best Regard

Leo

Hi leo55699,

Qatar Airways (like other organizations) has its grade structure. It consists of 11 grades. I don't know the whole structure but understand that 8-11 are managerial grades.

I also received an offer from them (we may joined the same interview section in Central ...). Their offer letter didn't say much background details and I kept clarifying with them. Suggest that you do the same to clear your concerns.

P.S.: Personal thought is that you can definitely find a job with a more decent salary package than this in HK now. Job market here is good (from job seekers' side).

Take care.

F'co

Grade or no grade it's a miserable offer.

Eco-savvy seems to know what she's talking about.

By anonymous• 22 Jun 2007 00:35

Housing Allowance for Grade 2 is 2000 and yours is grade 4 and the allowance is 3500

May be your position is under QAS Qatar Aviation Services (NOT UNDER QATAR AIRWAYS)

Thank you Natarajane

your advise is very helpful

It is a direct job from Qatar airways

Actually, I am kind of shock when they offer me with that kind of Basic Salary.

Qatar is a rich country and i believe with that kind of Basic Salary, i will be treated very badly.

Dear friend,

You will find it difficult to meet both the ends. A two bed room flat rent will cost around qar 7000. for qar 1000 you may get a dormitory accommodation with many sharing. hope you get right company for sharing accommodation. you may, if you have frugal living habits, own cooking, etc, you may spend for living expenses qar 400 - 500. you may spend equal amount in taxi. even more if you have to use mobile call up HK.

is this a direct job from Qatar airways or through a contractor?

Please evaluate every variable. before you land here!

Good luck!

Regards

Nat

Thx for ur advise

I was thinking about what you said too

I currently have other interview in other airline, and I had experience before.

I totally agree that the salary they offered are way too low for me to travel all the way to work in Doha. At least they should offer me double or triple more the salary.

Once again, thank you NOVITA77

you are the best

If you can get a job in HK, i would say you should stay there. Your housing allowance not even enough to rent a room in Doha.

I been to HK few times ... with the money you earn, IMO it is not worth it to come all the way here with the salary. Leaving your family and friends behind? Qatar is not a cheap place to live ... i can say nearly not far off from HK in term of housing prices. Price here for looking for somewhere to stay is crazy.

And you will miss HK food as soon as you get here.
