What is the monthly salary?

Dear Islandrock,

I'm 56 years old and I graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1977.

What is considered good salary? Please could you quantify for me?

Sorry for hacking this thread. I just wanna take this rare oppurtunity to get some help and advise.I am still young and very much worried about my career path. Currently working here in Qatar, I am a mechanical engineer by profession(28 years old not 28years of experience). I dont know where to start to get a brighter future and be able to have that QAR20K+ salary after 28 years more, my current salary = QAR2K. :)

good luck

timtan, everyone has it's own opinion and i just find you too rude for you to be so much affected with my opinion.. be cool dude! =)

Around 40,000 Qatari Riyal in Qatar petroleum...

How old are you? If your age is 50 Above, you get hired and get good salary. If your age is 45 below, impossible to get the job. 45 to 50, it depends. Sorry for this, because some people says they have lots of experience but when you calculated it, they will end up graduated college at the age of 12 to 16 only. Where is these colleges?

Firstly, I would like to thank all those who have responded to my question.

I know salaries of individuals are private and confidential and it is not my intention to find out the salary of any particular individual. I merely like to know the typical salaries paid by Oil & Gas companies for professionals with my level of experience because I am thinking of working in Doha.

If anybody else can shed further light on this subject for me, it will be deeply appreciated.

We can just help him by refering him to several high paying companies.. I guess that will work.. =)

Hey Djmix, well i know you're right saying that it is confidential, but we are trying to help qatarprospect.

Anyway, i also work in an Oil & Gas company as a Maintenance Planner, and am paid well. I would recommend you to join RasGas, where you get a Annual Ticket Fares (whether you go or not, you actually get around 4,000 more), get a Paid Annual Vacation (recieve your salary even when you are on Holidays for those Expenses), accomodation provided with free electricity and local phone call bills, and TOO much more benefits. For a Mechanical Engineer will be around QAR 26,000. And you also get to live in a world-class peaceful community, Also known as the Al Khor Community, with families of Qatargas' and Rasgas' Employees. All the benefits in RasGas are also provided in QatarGas, but RasGas has a bit more higher salary and you get monthly trips to Sealine beach resort for Quad-biking and Jet skiing, and also get PSP's, expensive mobile phones etc. Hope you get a good job and hope i've helped.

I'm working in an Oil & Gas company in and I think it's not good to discuss this topic as it's highly confidential.

28 yrs of experience sure will land you with a min salary of 30k plus all the allowances~probably more

good luck~

28years of working experience will surely lead u to some Senior or Supervisor Post...& moreover a manager too..!

As I have been working with Oil & Gas company prior to my present employment, I guess, you will be offered atleast QR32,000 (basic) & will have a very high accomodation allowance from which you will be able to save really good..!!

Hi there.. with 28 years experience on these companies more than 25000Qatari riyals excluding accommodation and car...

Good luck!!

Well i can answer u that..i was working with one recruitment company where v used to employ people from all parts of the world for OIL & GAS SECTOR..I had witnessed some people of ur calibure demanding upto 40000 + car + housing allowance + other benefits...If u r a westerner then u have a upper hand..U can demand more and can negotiate further..And sorry i cant tell u the name of the company where v placed our candidates.But v worked for almost all major comapnies of heres..so GOOD LUCK !!

No one can tell you... all jobs are based on experience (not just the amount of years), nationaility and what you are ready to accept.
