Friends,

I have been offered a job in Qatar and in Riyadh KSA both as a Field Service Engineer of Medical equipments.

Qatar - 6,300 QAR with company provided sharing accommodation ( 2 person in one room ). I have an option to look for an accommodation on your own and they would make it an all inclusive package of 7,300 QAR.

Riyadh, KSA - 5,000 SAR on the first 3 mos. of probationary period. They will make it 5,500 after passing the probationary period of 3 mos and they will give another 1,100 SAR for one year of accommodation and 900 SAR per month for transportation.

I heard that the cost of living and accommodation is high in Qatar compared to KSA except that it is not as conservative compared to KSA.

I would appreciate advises from people who had lived and worked in both country......

All the best

Iam pretty sure you will save with lot of difference in KSA... but Qatar is preferred if you look for a wider scope in future.
