Salary offer - Help is needed - Please
By stickmanstan •
Hi all, I will be moving to Qatar soon and I’m hoping somebody can help me with a dilemma. I was recently offered a managerial position in a contracting company in Qatar but the salary offered does not seem in my comfort zone.
I was offered QR14,500/month + accommodation + food allowance and I have 6 yrs professional experience from the west(engineering and consulting) + B. Eng + MBA from well-known universities.Does it sound fair??
I’m kinda confused. Help is greatly appreciated…
2 tickets is very good all give 2 tickets for bachelor status. Don't push for more. u can negotiate for non sharing accommodation
There are three sides to every argument: your side, my side and the right side
I'm single and have no kids. Accommodation might be shared with another employee of the company. As for transportation, I will be able to use the company car if it's available but i plan to buy a car over there. As for food, they have a catering service whcih takes care of food for all their employees. And i will get 2 tickets/year to my home country.
I think i will accept the offer but i will negotiate on having 4 tickets/year and accommodation on my ouwn.
Thanks alot guys...
you are moving to Qatar shortly, I assume that you have already accepted the offer.
Quite good for a 6 years experience. Mostly they prefer 10 years exp and above for managerial postions. But managerial positions should be 20K QR up.
Make sure the acommodation clearly stated in the contract that they are paying for it not allowance, and it is not a share acommodation.
How about transporation allowance? Will they give you a company car or you will get a free interest car loan?
How about air ticket to travel home ... the normal rotation is once a year to wherever you come from the ticket expenses should be cover by the employer.
And dont forget to calculate your expenses back home ... mortgage, school for the kids if you have any and other cost.
Good luck.
If you find that from this amt (14,500)u can save an amt everymonth, then go for it - -
From my knowledge, this is the best offer you can ever get in qatar, because, even if you get 25 or 35 , if you have to find accomodation of your own expense, then i believe u will not even get this in ur hand, its quite expensive here, more over this is the standard MNC company pay ( Multi National Co ) . SO go for it, but NOTE , If you are not satisfied with what u get - -- u will never - ever get PEACE - - of mind, so make ur self comfortable and then go for it
GOOOD LUCK _ _ _ _
