Urgent advise needed

I've just been offered a job in Doha, its my dream job. I will live in a 5* hotel (I'm unsure if food is included) and the hours will be good. But they are paying $500.00 per month. I want to pose this question to you:-

- If food, accommodation and transport is provided, is $500.00 still enough to do anything else? To me it sounds like a raw deal and I should really negotiate this up

- If food is not provided, but accommodation is, what will I need a month for a single drinking eating young man?

-What is shopping like, say compared to London?

-Finally, can you get a sun tan in Doha or is it unbearably hot in the summer?

500/week isn't worth it.

if it is 500 us dollars per month, then it is useless to come from london. It must be 5000 us dollars. check your offer again.

well, "drinking body".. don't you know how much drinks cost? These $500 will be perfectly enough for 1 good night in "Irish harp", for single drinking. That is it. What you gonna eat and drink for the rest of the month, i am not sure...

You probably forgot to add another "0" at the end? $5,000 plus accommodation+food+transportation sounds like more realistic.. check your job offer..

Unless your "dream job" is something like "Laundry attendant"..
