HELP ME TO DECIDE......PLEASE

I think this is standard salary for technician. Other companies are just giving 4000 to 6000 QR only. First, don't think of promotion. Show your ability first. Finish your probation. Maybe they already found a Mechanical Engineer. And also, from my experience, during hiring, they give lots of examination. If you dont pass the exam for Engineer position (eventhough you are experienced person, but your experience did not match the given examination), they give an option to put you in a technician position. Its up to you if you want to accept the job.

Ras Gas is one of the best employers in Qatar. I cant belive they offered you 8k being experienced 15years as even a Technician. Probably, they considered you in low grade. Still there is a wide scope in Ras Gas being world's leading company. You wont regret even if you accept & moreover, you may be offered better anywhere else after considering your experience with Ras Gas. Think about it, talk to HR people there, I guess, they should be more elastic with your salary. Also, I assure you, there are lots of other allowances in Ras Gas that will keep you comfortable. :)

I would like to say thanks to all QL's who answered me, to be clear the position that Rasgas offered me is Technician , I don't know what grade...and I have one more question, if I accept this offer , what are my chances to be promoted in future? what is the minimum duration to promote?

Thanks in advance, hope to see you all in Qatar..

Accept it...!!!

Trust me...u von' regret...

Dear Kakwak

Can yo prodide your email ID so i can forward one of my friends CV. He is a Mechanical Engineer and is looking for a Job in Qatar. He will be a local hire.

Cheers

FORGET ABOUT. Really surprised me that such offer!!! Must be at least 15-16 thousands plus local benefits as accommodation, school fees, medical expenses etc.

You know, seriously my car payment around 8000 QR and I think QP & RG are big racist when it come to hiring. With you exp, in my company at the NDIA you will get a full package no less than 50000QR a month so don't accept this offer and you can email me your CV I will get you a super job, and by the way there is a high demand now on engineering in Qatar and if you get stuck with a company in your dream that you will get a release

I agree with the answer at the top. QR8k is much to small with 15 years of experience for engineer is Rasgas.even other stuff such as accomodation and schools are provided

your salary with 15 years exp and in rasgas should be around 15k basics only

My dear Qr8000/pm is quite a less salary for your postion,you have not mentioned whether RasGas is offering you Acco,ticket,Allowances etc..a technician in Public Works Authority gets approx Qr9000/pm with Allowance and free Airticket..try to get work at PWA you will get nothing less than Qr15,000/pm as Mech. Eng..so now you decide..might you are paid less coz you are direct local recruit,or your qualification as Eng. are not too standard..Good Luck..

RasGas is a good Company to work anyway...

Hi I am an engineer having 16 yrs experience recently came to qatar.

8 K Basic is really very very bad salary, according to me don't accept it. Even if they provide free accomodation housing, education for kids, air ticket for family, medical etc your saving potential will maximum 5k per month, for that you no need to come here and work with rasgas.

Just refuse the offer and wait for good one!!

Hi buddy....

QR 8000 Basic for an Engineer who is having 15 years of experience..that also from Rasgas..This offer is not Bulllllllshiiiiiiiiit..........its chicken shiiiiittttttttt

dont get facinated by multiplying with 12

VNINOH And everyone else - RASGAS Co.

First up, congrats on the offer mate,

a quick word, RASGAS is a very good company and standards of work and culture are pretty nice...

Now coming to your question...

The salary that they offer you with QR 8K Basic (having 15yrs of experience) is a TOTAL CRAP...HEAR ME MY FRIEND< ABSOLUTE CRAP >

With that kinda experience I would say a BARE MINIMUM SALARY OF 15000 QR...at a Company like Rasgas...and this my friend is purely purely Basic, cos they normall provide Housing at their Al-Khor Community for Employees and life in there is quite nice, Schooling is covered for your children, yearly air tickets for you and family, MEdical Insurance for you and members of your family, and other such extra perks and yearly bonuses and appraisals are all not included...

QR 15000K is a Bare minimum, by the way having said this, whats the position...but irrespective of that, QR 8000 is just a total waste, and DO NOT ACCEPT IT!

I'm not being racist here, but for other Nationalities they pay much higher and I think based on your experience you need to be paid and not based on where you come from, so chuck the 8000 QR and tell them to stuff right their *** !!!

Wake up people, to all those that have said this is a decent offer, this is just stupid and absolutely one of the worst offers that I have seen or heard off...

Cheers!!!

Forget it. Such salary is for a trainee. Besides when family joins, you cannot save. Rather, you will be in debt.

I agree with the answer at the top. QR8k is much to small with 15 years of experience for engineer is Rasgas. If other stuff such as accomodation and schools are provided than you will do just fine.

the said salary (basic) is okay other benefit may over come the basic salary so just calculate.

for your profession, that is too low. mechanical engineer cost more than that. even if there would be additional housing or transpo cost, still that would be too low. Remember, its RasGas that ur going to work.

Depends on your position. 8,000 QR is quite less for an engineer. Most of Oil/Gas companies in Qatar gives up to 6 months probation periods, it depends upon your performance, maybe for only 3 months, you will get hired already as regular employee. After that, then you can bring your family in Qatar. For the other benefits, I have no idea, but probably its good because Rasgas is a big company.

O.T.. When did you get the interview in Rasgas? I am waiting also.

its a good package. 8000 base and a good 3-4k extra for housing and all that. its pretty decent if you ask me. then again with 8000 you will have to cringe. with a 2 children family. you gotta... push it

If the salary includes other benefits, such as accommodation & transportation, then I think that would be enough...initially. Try to scout among your peers during your probationary period and request from there if there is such a need to ask for an increment and/or is it really feasible to bring your family here.

Hope it would be of help pal.
