Is this Salary good..?
Hi Guys,
I am new to this forum, but i need some answers. I trust u guys will be of help.
I've been offered a job by one of the majors in Qatar and the salary is as follows:
(1) Basic = 17,000 QR
(2) Transport Allowance = 2,000 QR
(3) Location allowance = 1,154 QR
(4) Commuting Allowance = 1,600 QR
(5) Accomodation = To be provided by company
(6) Children's Education = To be provided by company
(7) Medicals = To be provided by company.
(8) Car loan = 75,000 QR of 5 x 1 month Basic
(9) Furnishing Grant = 55,000 QR
Employment as i was told is definite for 3 years, but renewable at the end of the three years.
Is this offer good..?. I am married with three kids.
Will appreciate your urgent respons
This is a terrible offer, refuse it and send me the contact number of the company's HR ;)
The transport allowance may be paid to all staff. If the location is some distance from base, they may be paying a commuting allowance instead of a location allowance.
Just a thought.
I can sense that it is from either QG or RG.
The package is standard for the qualification you have. However, you might want to negotiate for higher position i.e. senior engineer.
Whether it is a good or not is depending upon your current earning, your projected savings, your view on your market price, and other competing offers.
Good luck.
nice offer..

It is a good salary, but not that great for saving for a family of 5 (in my humble experience). Just bear in mind that Qatar is an expensive place.

Hi
Your question depends on several more isues that you have not mentioned eg your age, nationality, years experience, whether you have kids etc. All these things mae a bit of a difference. I have been in a top finance position here for 4 years so I will be happy to discuss it in a bit more detail in private if you so wish. My email is [email protected]. Regards Phil
If some people can't live in a real world, then it's up to them.
Alumnar... Thanks...!!
The one thing you will never stop finding on this site is controversy, bashing, personal attacks, ignorant people and unnecessary posts! So better get used to it :)
Jpa u are not making any point...!!
Transport allowance , commuting allowance both sounds same and means same thing... just told u i was as curious as u were and i did asked the HR who confirmed both will be paid (though i still have my doubts and reservation)....i only need a confirmation if this is okay to live in Qatar (even if the controversial commuting allowance is removed)...!!
Just ignore certain peoples' comments - jealousy goes a LONG way and some people should keep away from computer keyboards!
Everybody should live in a real world.
JPA..."some people need to wake up".... meaning..???
Some people need to wake up..
