hello,
i am a senior software manager with 14 yrs of experience in IT-software(development and project management) and I am discussing with GBM(Gulf Machines Ltd, an IBM company) Qatar for a Sr. Manager position. I have to discuss with them about the package in the next round, would really appreciate if you could suggest some basic salary as per the industry standard in Qatar so that i can negotiate with them.
FYI: What i understood from them is
- HRA is @10 of basic
- 70% of Schooling expense
- Medical 70%, hospitalisation - 100%
- air tickets for self and family
- year end bonus (1 month salary)
we r 4 member family(my wife and 2 kids- 7 yrs & 3 yrs)

thanks in advance

Noohu.

My Friend

Remember Average monthly expensis for a (2+2) family per month is QR 9000 to 1000 which includes mainly 60% of the house Rent charges as well. U can work out what amount u want to save per month and that should be added to the amont to above amount. if company is bearing all the expensis, u can surview on an average monthly expensis of QR 3000 PM. Hope the anwser will be sufficient to negotiate the package with the company

dear friend , people live and survive even if they cover most of there expenses ,rent, school, medical insurance and so on

i mean all what you mention that your company going to pay so what are you thinking about

is it offer much better than the life in your country?

go on !!! Don't hesitate to much , trust me they will find another one!

If you go true posts you will find people that they are going to pay for there own visas just to work in the Middle East so .... Think that you have a lot of benefits other they don't get even if they are since 15 years hear !!!!

Most of the QLs are of helping nature. You had raised this question before, I suppose. Are you from New Delhi ? If not, I am sorry. In your previous posting, you had mentioned basic salary + HRA 7-11% of annual basic salary + school fees, medical fees etc.
