depends upon u....

but its true that half the slary is gone for ur rent if u r looking for a furnished one.

remaining all things are normal...

so u can live in that salalry if u curtail ur expenses and spend carefully.

Don't bother if they don't pay extra for a decent accommodation.

Rent will take about half of your salary. If you can do all the rest on what is left, then yes, if not then a BIG no. Qatar used to be one of the places you could make good money and save, now it is just a place of the greedy landlord.

Get the salary, plus accommodation supplied, it will then be a good package.
