I have got placed in --- company for (Basic 4100+ Over time 1100)QR5200 + accommodation + food + yearly air ticket.

Dude the salary is not worth it... And as for qatar airways the pressure is gonna be way too much for the salary can handle... for 1750 you will get a probably a shared accomodation..if ur lucky the roof wont fall :)...

I guess u should bargain more when u still can like MKx09 advised you too...

Since ur from india the currency is hitting new high so in near future u cant send much money home with the salary ur gonna get...

Think bout it... to be frank its a decent salary for a normal person but not an aircraft mechanic

Negotiate while you still can. Later you may be stuck on that salary and regret not pushing for more.

Be careful, you might repent latter. check what acco is the compy giving you.... hope it is not sharing... area ....etc you might be put in a filthy place as rents are high. Else a decent a 2 br appt may cost you in excess of qar 7500 / mth.

also depends if you are single....you do not earn enough for keeping a familiy...salary do not increase here easily..
