noms_ Yes You are rigt, Secondly salary structures differ from companey to companey and type of business. So its better to think about the present savings and the future saving, rathan than thinking of all other details, if u wish to have a great salary i feel you should try in oil field.

For the kind of exp you have , you must draw atleast

QAR 15,000 To QAR 18,000 a month all in all plus family tkts , bonus , car by company and other perks .

Otherwise not worth it .

Check naukrigulf.com and you will find many better companies in UAE , Oman and Bahrain .

This offer is unbeleivable for your qualifications and experience.

Are you sure that the currency you have mentioned is in Qatari riyals? It may be in US Dollars.

Otherwise, dont even think of accepting the offer even if they double the offer.

with 8 years of exp this salary is too low

once u land and see the salary structure of qatar then u will regrat for what u excepted.

so my reply is big no dont except it

simple acccomodation 1 bhk if u share wt other gay u have to pay atleast 4k

food around 1-1.5 k

transport if u need a car then atleast 1500 required.

so if u accept this offer then u will pay u r total salary for u r expenditure in qatar and u will not save a single penny . for which we have left our country

so take care my freind before excepting.

Thanks exiledsaint. That answer was more helpful.

I also thought so. When I heard about the figures, it disappointed me because we agreed on a different numbers.

So now I am already thinking of declining it, even if they are still about to send the offer letter.

yup! it all depends on ones needs.

but what do you think about the offer, if I want to live alone in an appartment and have enough to save ?

Unless all those figures are dollars I would say not. You'd make much more as a secretary at an oil and gas company than that.
