Salary :- is it enough?

yup

Thank you and Best wishes

**Dont get discourage when things go beyond your imagination because the greatest glory in life is not falling but rising everytime you fall. Life is what you make it**

if you have tension ? no problem use it......lol

(NOTE:- DON'T TRY)

Its never enough.

very good

you deserves better than this then DON'T ACCEPT....

Look for another company that will give you more than this and will satisfy you or will be enough to your lifestyles....

"We cannot change the past, we only learnt from it"

Very good offer go ahead

BJ, as far as I know:

- 75 K should buy you a brand new corolla (at least the basic version). A 2009 Lexus (basic sedan) will cost probably twice that. You can check the car classified in this site and qatarsale.com

Of course you should factor the loan payment to your car. A 48 month payment of 75K will set you off almost 2 K a month (inc. services and operational cost). Also factor in some ready fund to pay traffic fines....

- Coffee shop and dining out will cost you say 200 riyals per person per visit. How much extra for Alcohol and/or 'companionship' ;-) you'll have to ask others..... hey, I'm here with my family....

- Yes air tickets will be taken care by the family. But I'd suppose that you will have to pay your own for sundries etc.

Hope it helps

Cheers

- Medium level shopping, may be 1000-2000 (depend on what you call medium level).

Owww U Guys are confusing me now....

Some say 10k is more than enough and some say 20 K is enough....

I dont get it!

Why such a deviation...?i agree we have different lifestyles..but no king with 3 wifes and gold utensils for food! :-)(Pun intended)

I am a simple guy who is single,and party say twice a month and thts it...i am no Gucci or BOSS fan!..Levis is fine for me ...lols

So i think guys with above life style, car ,mobile internet and twice party in a month ,15k shud sustain me with saving of minimum 11 or 10 K

What say guys??????

Help me.......sob sob... :-P

savings will be entirely up to your spending. since your accommodation and transpo are taken cared off already with that amount then you will leave a good life here already.

good luck to you. see yah around...

........................................................

You can live in a decent life style even with salary less than they offered. if your question is about DECENT LIFE STYLE, QR1000 is enough.

Just use brain, do you know that most of the ppl here are getting very less salary. and here you are, you need to ask if 11000 will be ok. Dont believe to those who are saying that it is not enough.

Dont go for it. It will ruin your life for 2 years if you signed the contract. Look for a better job bro. Dont take anything below 20000Qrs. Qatar is going to be a place for riches from next year onwards. It will be difficult to survive for a normal bread earner. Qatar is going to be Paris of Middle East.

Dear All,

Thanks for all the help.Really appreciate your help.

:-)

Take care

thank you for the tips..

...but always end up resigning early and only finish their contract and does not wish to extend it. They will always 'treat' you with that limited job offer amount of basic salary. It's the sponsor/HR's 'cheap labor' business technique of getting their own manpower around here. :-(

hello hope you could help me on this one..i will be working on Power Generation, distribution and water distribution as a skilled staff... basic salary 2000QR, my employer give me free housing, transportation but the food is salary deduction its 6QR per day. so it is Almost 180QR per/month and it is 2 years contract... so probably it became 1820QR per month.... is it ok.. the basic salary they give me 2000QR is this fair??? i have a family in the Philippines...can i survive in Qatar and send a money to my family to this kind of salary... hoping for replies.. thanks.

Be warned. The overall salary doesn't sound realistic to the reality of the employees in Qatar.

You can save 99% of your salary if you are willing to scrape it out.

Otherwise give what sort of expenses you are fancying.

Else just search the forum. There are lots of topics based on this....

How much will you save depend entirely on how much do you plan to spend every month.....

How much do you spend depend entirely on your lifestyles. Since you haven't mention what kind of lifestyle you plan to, no one can tell you how much you can save.

Assuming you are single, Let start with the basic:

- What kind of accommodation (bed sit, share house, apts, villas, compound ? what luxury level ?)

- Do you plan to take public transport or rent or buy a car (cash or bank loan?). What kind of cars: 1999 Corolla or 2009 Lexus ?

- What/where do you eat. Do you plan to cook your own food or eat out. If you plan to eat out occasionally, how often and at what level ? Briyani in small restaurant, Pizza Hut or Fish Market in InterCon hotel?

- Similarly, what do you plan for your entertainment? Hanging around friends in Corniche, Cinema or coffe shop in Ramada ?

- Where you plan to shop: Souq, Lulu or Hermes?

- How often do you plan to go home or vacation: every three months or every three years.

- For Family you must add schooling, tutorials, wife expenses etc.

- etc etc....

Then you can ask or research the specific points. For instance 'How much is the cost of a medium class 2 br apartment near the city' and so on.

Based on your description, this salary package is good.

Good Luck in Qatar

hey ur salary depends from which nationality u r, and what is ur educational background and ur experience also.

If you want to buy a car normal one,u can pay mothly around 1500 or 1800

ur mobile bill wont exceed 500,if u talk too much,

ur food depends on u what kind u eat and if u eat always out or u cook home,petrol for the car is so cheap u wont even spend 300 per month or 400

Hussam/Nom with 6 years of exp , i am getting grade 8.

i am from mechanical.

Is it justified?

what is monthly expenses?

it depends on ur way of living,some people i know they can save 10,000 atleast from this amount

hi noms..thanks for a prompt reply

anyways, this package is worth migrating. :)
