Hi to all,

We live in India and my husband has been offered a job with Qatar Airways in IT related field with grade 8 position in Doha. He has an experience of 15+ yrs in IT field in India, all with four very good companies.

His package includes basic 19,000 + upto 50,000(yearly school fees, at actuals) + free accommodation (furnished 2 or 3 bedroom apt) + health insurence

(other perks are like yearly return tickets to home country and unlimited 90% and 50% off tickets to any where with Qatar airways)

School fees is sufficient for us, as we have a daughter who will go to junior kg from the coming year and we plan to put her in Indian CBSE board school.

Please advice if this package is good for a person with IT experience of 15+ yrs and how much can we save from this.

P.S.- Our expenses are very moderate and we don’t drink, smoke etc, and no partying also.

Any suggestion is very much welcome as we do not have much idea on Qatar.

Thanks to all in advance.

dear feet,

exchange rate as of today is 16.9 indian rupees for 1 qatari riyal. 19000QR is fair for a medium level employement. since you are offered with housing and other perks, all together you may get an amount equal to 30,000 monthly(i guess). times 16.9= 507,000 indian rupees. is it a fair amount in your current situation..?? now, you may reduce the expenses including housing etc. doha rent is always unfair. for a two bedroom flat, you have to pay 6500 QR at least. then grocery, transportation(car loan) etc...thus, at the end of month, you may have your 19000 in your hand. times 16.9 = 321,000. is it OK for you..?? then accept this offer. more over, once you get an opening abroad, the door is open for you to learn about you and your salary. all the best.
