Don't count on the variable part of your salary, because it could be 0 to 2000QR. With this offer you wont be able to save 9K, but 5000-6000QR depending of the monthly settlement you are to pay for your car.

PH you should be well aware that people are coming here to earn and save money, so the salaty in the country of origine has noting to deal with the job offer in Qatar.

If you company provides housing, then it is worth taking it for the kind of savings you are looking for.

Wow you call a little 9000QR for savings which is equal to more then 1,100 british pounds and how many rupees?

Do IT consultants earn that much in India?

Put in your expences a car, because without a car here it's not possible to live and move anywhere. 15K is not that bad. Visa in any case will be provided by your sponsor. Don't foreger medical inssurance and free air ticket.
