Not enough. It needs to be 16k plus allowances for housing. Otherwise, I don't think you will save anything. You will ear a fortune, spend it all, and stress every day.

Hi Raja... 16K is not going to be a good salary unfortunately... The fact and the reality is that Qatar is very expensive... Study the fine lines including the unavailability of retirement plan or citizenship pathway, high turnover in most of the companies, inability/difficulty to change work residency for some oil companies, etc... Investigate a lot on the details, the 16k is the top of the iceberg but as the say goes "the devil is in the details", I wish you best of luck but if I were you, I would either renegotiate or reject the offer... It is your life and you struggled a lot to become a senior engineer, do not underestimate your value.

The word "sufficient" has no boundaries. Human nature is never satisfied. But for me, it's a good salary as you may be able to to manage within 2K as expenses per month, with the rest in your pocket.
