have been offered a job in Qatar but not really sure what to do as I think the salary is very low. It's 1200 riyals a month. Accommodation and transport are included in the employment package but I can't stop thinking about the salary for a full-time position. I also know that cost of living Qatar is a very expensive country. What am i do ? is that enough salary to live in Qatar.

you will not be able to save money with this salary. But you might get chance to learn something good for better job. or at least you will learn what is money, what is life and what is motherland.

It's peanuts for a Telecom Technician considering you have to pay for your food.  You better plant sweet potatoes in your backyard. You can eat the leaves and the tubers. You got nothing to worry about. Nobody will give you an order to lift your butt and pick up a buck.

it depends on the position. For the General manager, I would say, it's a bit low, you could ask for another couple of Grands.. if it's for the tea boy position, take it, as you will never get more than that.

It's not much money, but I suppose it depends where you are from and what you earn now.

If its "QR 1200".....my suggestion do not accept....This is not even close to what a labour gets in a construction company....
