Hi all. Husband's been offered something similar working in IT for around 30,349QAR per mth.  He doesn't have a BA, isn't white lol and its twice what he makes currently here in th US.   Given that he has only been on the current job for 1 yr, hight cost of living in Qatar (we only pay 3,277.71 QAR in rent now), and the fact that its a consultancy is it worth leaving a fulltime w/medical benifits? Additionally although they mentioned housng and transportation they did say "if your family can handle it" ie possibly no relocation pay/assistance.

I am not white. May be called brown or black!

As I understand housing will be free + other family benefits. Howver I am taking a confirmation for this from the company.

Is it a good offer even if it includes housing?

 

Regards

Grab it or else it will be offered to others. There are plenty of Engineers receiving only half of what they offered you. May i know what company is that?  No matter how high your salary is if you're not wise in spending, likewise, no matter how low your salary is if you're wise in spending.

He is 'pana' coz if he is white then that offer is not enough for him due to high standard living in western country.

engineer1969 if this offer is inclusive of everything, which means (transportation,accommodation, etc.) and you are not a luxurious type of person, its a good offer. even you will bring your family with you, you can live with this offer. but, of course, as what i am saying, it depends on how you live your life. there are expats here with families and receiving lower than that but they are here for a long time already.

hope this will help you.

no its not a good offer. its too much money per month..what will u do with all that money..... more money = more tension = heart problems = death. since u r already in your 40s u have already lived ure life...the money u earn now will cause problems for others around u...

since you have already accepted the offer, whats the point in asking whether it is good or bad?

or aside from this you get other benefits like: housing, medical care, car, education expenses, ticket to your country...to say the least.

If it's an all inclusive then the majority of the expenses are going to be housing and education.

If all other expenses/allowances are to be added then it is a terrific offer. Take it!!!

Regards!!
