Specialist Engineering position

Hi all,

I've been negotiating directly for a specialist engineering position in Doha (9 years experience). I've nominated US$9-9.5k + allowances for transport, rent, schooling, end of service payment and airfares (Australia).

I haven't heard back yet, so I was just wondering what to expect in terms of negotiation, or if you have any stires to share about negotiating directly.

Thanks Dweller, your original comments were more than helpful, much appreciated.

I was concerned by negotiating directly, I'd nominated too high a salary, but others would agree this is about right.

If the terms and conditions are agreed upon, I've got that Doha school list at the ready. I was looking at February/March for Doha, so yes we will need to start putting my son's name down.

You may not get a lot more comment than on the original thread.

End of service benefits are as per labour Law or if you are in QP they are higher.

You must make sure that school fees and housing are covered and as the other responder said, apply for school places NOW!
