At that salary level, your accommodation would surely not be something to write home about. But if you're single and up for an adventure in the Gulf, then go ahead and take this job.

If you have a pedigree of sorts with regards to what you eat, that easily takes up a lot of your paycheck. Going to your accommodation, the condition of the place your company will provide is anybody's guess. Moving forward, if this is your first time to work overseas then that could be reason the company has given you that offer. At the end of day, I doubt you'll be able to save a lot from that offer of 2500/mo. irregardless of your home country since most of that will be spent in Qatar.

Depends on your priorities.. Its good, if you are single and starting a career. Check for quick career prospects in the organization. If not, you could find a job elsewhere with a better pay that that. Then again, its up to you to decide  after understanding your opportunity cost.

Good news is your company provides you with transport, accommodation and flights. The only necessity for you left to spend on is food which you can spend more or less 800/mo depending on how manage your meals. That leaves you more than a thousand to play around with. It's up to you where you allocate the remainder.
