Should I take this offer?

labor contract that is what legally bind you to the employer here, fee sekolah tu macam brother rizal mention, it is expensive,

Hi Iqesh, terima kasih utk your reply. SO meaning im considered ready to work when I said ok??and tak sign ape2 just through email?

Hi rizalazhar. Terimakasih utk your reply. memang boss saya kata anak dia tak sponsor tapi there is a way to get this done and the co will help give whatever leter I need utk prepare for this. I plan nak bawak ibu dan anak saya. tapi first 6 months I have to be here alone. tadi I baru email boss saya kata tak mau dia kata co dah amik visa. maksudnya I terpaksa amik dan kerja ke? saya rasa sangat keliru sekarang. kalo international sekolah boleh saya tau berapa agaknya it will be? sebab boss saya kata dalam 2.7-3k per semester. betul ke?

Shrdi, you ada tanya tak pasal sponsoring family? Untuk anak you tinggal di Qatar, dia mesti ada visa Family.

You punya visa is working visa, sponsor you is your company. Tapi setakat apa yang saya experience is that, Gomen susah nak keluarkan family visa for ladies yang nak sponsor anak. Melainkan company tu betul2 leh justify needs.

Tempoh sah laku Visa on Arrival ialah sebulan, tetapi, boleh pergi ke imigresen untuk apply sebulan lagi. Max 2 bulan sahaja. Kalau you tak dapat sponsor anak you, maknanyer setiap 2 bulan you kena bawak ur kid keluar qatar (normally ke Dubai) stay weekend, then masuk balik qatar menggunakan Visa on Arrival.

Dan sekiranya tiada family visa untuk anak, dia takkan boleh bersekolah di qatar. Playschool/ private kindergarden max umur is 4 yrs sahaja, lebih dari itu, kena masuk International School (Kindergarden).

So setakat nie, gaji yang dioffer mmg mencukupi utk you n you child.

Kalau you nak turn down that offer, I would say, better you ambik, and datang dulu ke Qatar 1-2 bulan sendiri, ambik feel dulu. Takkan tak boleh tinggalkan anak ngan family members sebentar?

Atau pun, you boleh belikan tiket flight and ask one of your family member boleh datang Qatar and jaga your child sementara you familiarize yourself dgn tempat nie.

Salam Shrdi, setahu saya if you tak report for duty and belum sign labor contract maksudnyer u masih consider ready to employ for the company not bound by Qatar law yet. Blacklisting tu I x pasti ler sebab sini banyak lagi company construction and consultant. sekolah kat sini international Cambridge syllabus.

seklolah sana ade Malaysian education system or must enrol in international? please enlighten me. dkt area al-khor ade sekolah utk kita? or good school ?

Hi rizalazhar and Iqaash. Terima kasih banyak utk advise. I memang dalam dilemma. sebenarnya I ni ibu tunggal. nak bawa anak tinggal bersama. just today I punya boss call and kata dia sudah talk till Director about me and benggang kata this is what we can offer. I cakap satu pakej he said 17k. risau I..sebab I dah agree dgn intention of employment offer with..co name. sekarang kalo I turn over ade apa2 masalah ke? can they charge me in court etc?

2 BHK (Bedroom, Hall, Kitchen - Fully Furnish) : QR 5k/ month

Sewa kereta or teksi : 2k/ month.

Sekolah anak : Anak umur 5 tahun ... 14-20k/ year or maybe more - lump sum payment yer. Groceries, makan n minum : 2k/ month

Utilities(api, air, phone etc) : 2k/ month

Please tanya your company, education anak macam mana?

And kasi tau yg you plan nak bawak anak.

Sebab selalu nyer, a single lady sponsored by a company, takkan dapat benefits/ elaun family.

You kena faham, mmg akan ada double standard antara pekerja lelaki dan perempuan.

Depa expect, orang lelaki yang akan tanggung family, dan bukan pekerja perempuan.

I would advice, kalau betul2 you nak datang juga, datang solo dulu 2-3 bulan.

Ambik feel dulu tempat nie.

Jangan pulak kalau kat Msia kita boleh makan nasi tapi kat Qatar terpaksa makan biskut, udah la.

Anyway, hope for the best.

sorry, shrdi1, for family is not enough, if you are bringing your daughter as well as your husband, you can't get rent less than 3k in Qatar for a house, memang susah, itu lah dugaan nyer hidup disini rent is too high, for 3k hanya dapat sewa bilik ajer, too bad itu lah reality nya, if u are willing to stay as single bawak anak sekali sekala okay lah, kalau nak bawak family its a no no..

Iqash, semalam HR co tu panggil I. dia kata last 18k tapi dalam 18k tu bila dia buat agreement letter , they will breakdown la macam utk allowance accommodation, transport etc..I agak takut jugak..betul I boleh save ke tak nie...sbb tinggal kan keluarga utk ke sana...al khor ade dua bilik sewa yg dalam 3k??atau akan melebihi 3k

If accommodation provided by the company, its okay, make sure family friendly lah, about anak tu I x beberapa pasti, need to check with the MOI Qatar, upon arrival sini there will issue temporary working visa for us then visitor visa for others.

Iqash, i'll try to nego with the HR about ape yang dibicarakan. I harap dia akan naikan tapi kalo tidak pun I akan dalam masalah sebab Project director sudah suka my cv and dah confirm saya...so saya dalam keadaaan runsing sekarang. saya akan mintak allowance fr meal and accommodation. kalo nak bawa anak mesti tunggu 6 bulan baru boleh bawa ke? if family status terus boleh bawa kan?

shrdi, area Al Khor ramai orang Msian yang kerja di Qatar Gas, in fact, di panggil kampong msia, so you won't be alone there, by the way al khor is very much cheaper than Doha, sebab jauh dalam 45 minutes drive kalau siput sedut driving,

Cuba search Malaysian in Qatar closed group but once dah approved boleh post question kat sana,

Healthcare kat sini memang mahal, but kalau company cover then its okay, education is expensive too, that why renego back the package at least 25k sound feasible.

Rizalazhar - travelling that I meant here is to and fro from work. Well, I really appreciate all your kind advise.

Job offered as Senior Engineer - HSE. Construction co. sorry I tak nk reveal co name for now. hope you guys faham.

kid I have one. dia baru 5 tahun. macam mana nak tinggal kan anak ni kat sana. takut dia sakit pulak. I dah sent request to msian fb page tgh tunggu accept. nie. by the way saya perempuan. :) Kerja saya kat area Al Khor. kalau tak silap. rental area sana mahal ke?

Avoid travelling Malaysian airlines ...

Provide more details of the company so that others too can apply

Bro, aku suggest ko pergi login to , Malaysian In Qatar facebook page or MAQ page for your enquiries, to be honest the salary is not enough for family, at least 30k. Please renegotiate balik

First of all, do you plan to bring your family here with you, most likely yes, than the offer is just ok. You will save a bit. Housing rent is the most expensive in GCC for Qatar, if you are looking for a decent living for a two bedroom in a compound, you are looking around QR5,500 to 7,500 within Doha City. You will need a car, so most likely, you will rent one, budget for QR 2,000 for renting a small car + petrol. Food and miscellaneous spending may take up QR 4,000 to 5,000 upwards for your family (depending on the size). Two mobile phone service with 1 GB Data + Mosaic (Internet for home use + digital TV) with Asia International Channels will run you about QR700. All this is monthly. With all this in mind, you might be able to save a little. The thing is, are you better off than living in Malaysia or being here and saving a little. BTW, I forgot schools or nursery (depending on the age of your kids), it is expensive in Qatar. If you factor that in, then you might not even save!

One thing is sure , you would fall .......... fall in love with Qatar ...................

Shrdi, Accept this offer .... you would be able to save 14k / pm without family ..... come & have exp. for about a year ........... ............ just don't calculate much .................

For us to give you a better idea and options for YOUR future in Qatar, provide us the job title and your years of experience and the industry that offered you a job in Qatar. Cheers

See Classifieds for info and budget on what to expect on accomodation.

When you say travelling, I'm assuming flight ticket going back to Msia, as of date Sri Lanka Air is the cheapest.

Check with your company, why was the reason they do not provide accom and travel? Also check number of days for annual leave, and also an "End of Service Benefits"--- like EPF la. Normally, 1 month basic salary for each number of years in service.
