Will QRs 5500 basic sufficent
By saiyab_rps •
I have an offer for QRs 5500 basic, Accomodation, transporation & food provided by the company. Medical as per Qatar law. Have 7 yrs exp as Project Engg. Not a frequent out-goer, leading Simple life.
Is the offer a gud one
Can I save anything with this.
Request for comments to decide. This is my first overseas offer.
Thanks for comprehension
No, it is not enough and you need to ask more...
Very low for an Engineer
Come on guys, Please do not compare your basic salary in QP. QP is paying huge salaries to everyone and a Project Engineer in QP will be getting 10000 riyals or even more as basic salary. This guy is going to do his first overseas job so give him a reasonable reply. If you are getting 5500 as basic your salary package in total including accommodation, transportation etc. should be like Qr. 10000/- which is not a very big offer but it is not bad for a person who have no experience abroad. Please check first what sort of accommodation, transportation and food they will be providing to you. (As per Qatari Labour law the Basic salary should be 60% of the total salary. You should also check with them about your family status as the minimum salary requirement for applying a family visa is Qr.7000/-
As you are leading a simple life you will be able to save but read the sample budget and cost of living.
The basic offered for Project Engineer is very less by comparing ur years of experiance. I think the basic should be 9000 - 10000 + all the allovances. I work for QP, there the Project Engineers are getting more.
with years of experience i guss u deserve more basic salary !
better try your first oversea at saudi... 5500 basic would be sufficient there. if you need more info try to read the "guide to qatar-sample budget and cost of living" column in the right side of this page.. good luck!
with seven years exp
u can ask
at least 9000 basic+family accom+car+medical
