Is 22,148.5 QAR a decent enough salary to live in QATAR?

Bless your heart, dear! Come to Doha. It's not the garden spot of the world, but sometimes dull can be good. And it's safe and friendly too. Look at all the friends you've already made. And my friend's husband who works at RasGas has a very nice package with good benefits. They seem to take care of their employees well.

Your not lying about that. I've been over here for about 6 years and I would kust like to work a quasi 9-5 type job and go out after work if that is possible.

Oh, OK, you know the area then. RasGas seems to be a good place. Lotsa expats working there. Doha is better than Baghdad!

I guess when I say stable I mean for a couple of years or so. Currently I work in Iraq and Dubai. It gets tiresome. Any idea how RasGas is as a company? They said they are international and it would be a contract position.

Hmm, TEC, I'm not sure about the pay cut or your leaving your family behind. I wouldn't want you to come over and be unhappy here. And "long-term" and "stable" are not the first words that come to my mind in describing the job situation in Qatar.

I get my QR 100 allowance from my father weekly and I'm doing just fine. ;)

It would be security position with Ras Gas in Ras Laffan. I have about 25 years experience and would be a pay cut but I am looking for something possibly long term and stable.

It would include free housing, family status, annual leave, rotational flights, medical care. Possibly receive performance bonus and annual board declared. I would probably come over by myself and I'm not a lavish person. Just some night life and TV.

Its a gringo.... despacito!

How much do you earn now?

Do you get housing apart from your salary?

Will you be bringing family?

Do their school fees get paid?

For the 13090798768632342543536345435 time, it totally depends on your spending habits. If you are going to share a room with someone (as a bedspacer), never eat out, not rent or buy ar car but use the bus and never buy alcohol you might save QR18k or even more!

Seriously, stop being lazy and do your homework: prepare a budget and ask us prices. That we can provide.

22,148.50/mo. for an expat salary that is low.
