Job Offer 10k QR
I have job offer in DESCON engineering, http://www.descon.com in qatar as sr. Mechanical Engineer, but i really don't have any idea if it's good or not. Could you please check whether to take it or it's too low. I will be alone right now but if my wife get a job in Medical sector (clinic, hospital) in qatar she will join me. My wife is a fresh general medical practitioner passed MBBS in 2006 and had 1 year internship in hospital. now she is working in a clinic here in Bangladesh. I have a kid (7 months now).
I am working in state owned gas production company in Bangladesh as deputy manager with a salary 40,000/month in Bangladeshi Taka (around 600 USD). I have 8 years job experiences with this company but salary is paid in government scale thus it is very low.
The offer from DESCON Engineering is as follows:
Gross Salary: 10K QR
Company will provide food, accommodation, transport from camp to site/site to camp, medical as per qatary rule, 30 days paid leave with return tickets in every year, single status etc.There will be a Probation Period of 3 MONTHS.
The working hours: 10 hrs per day and 6 days per week.
1) Please suggest me about the offer.
2) Is it possible to find a medical/related job for my spouse in qatar? please send me some links where should I try for her.
Your earliest reply is needed.
Thanks to all for your valuable comments. I asked DESCON for giving me family status but they regret that. Anyway, as I understood from your comments I should not accept this offer as single status.
Could you please help me by sending links for medical/health care jobs for my spouse.
Your kind support is always appreciated.
All the best for you all.
Sounds like the offer is for you to be here on single status and living in a labour camp in Ras Laffan. I'm not sure there is even an option for you to bring your family here looking at the offer if this is the case. I would confirm if the camp is in Doha or Ras Laffan or Mesaieed. You better confirm if you want your family here before you accept. And confirm exactly what family status entitles you to. The may not be willing to change your status to family once your here because they are keeping their cost low by having you in a labour camp. But if they switch you to family, they will have to pay separate for accommodation, transport, etc.
And as I'm sure you know, once you're here there is no job transfer.
10K is too less. Ask for family status with family accomodation. Sure... ur wife can find a job here.
As a single status it seems that, u will be asked to stay in labour camps on the project site or nearby. Don't be a fool to accept that. Ask for family status together with a 2 or 3 bedroom flat. As a Sr. Mechanical Engineer, u can go for nothing less than 25k.
Good luck....
i think you should renegotiate the offer for single status, working hours per day...
ask them to provide family status, only then you will be allowed to bring your wife in Qatar
and maximum 8 working hours / day...
accomodation is very expensive here in Qatar, 20 BR flat range is 7 - 10K QR /month....and if company is providing you accomodation then it will be ok
just request DESCON to change your status to family status which means you can get your family and you'll be given a family accomodation.
