Urgently advice needed before accepting a Job offer in Qatar
Dear all,
I am 39 years old electronics engineer, with 16 years experience in projects and contracts management also I am a certified Project Manager Professional (PMP) as well as many professional certificates.
Personally, I have wife and 3 Kids (12y, 11y & 6y) all of them are in schools.
Recently, I have received an offer to work in Qatar as a Branch Manager for a Telecommunication Co. they asked me how much expecting the salary.!!!???
Please advice me:
1) How much fairly should I request for this job (Qatari average salary for similar positions)?
2) It will be enough for accommodation, medical insurance, schools, car, living, entitlement for THREE KIDS, yearly vacation, and SAVING ~QR 20k/month.
Please please advice me because I have to reply by tomorrow and you are the only people I found to ask and I confident with your series replies.
A good salary is a competitive one in your country plus 25%, plus housing, medical, schooling, transportation allowance and annual tickets for all. We probably can't give you an "average" figure for the job here, it's up to you to decide what you would come for.
very very low salary especially you have 3 kids
Thank you all for your help,
What level of schools for 12000?
There is any medical insurance policy?
And home allowance policy, if so how much?
For such job position how much average salary in Qatar?
Qatar is small country, but is it enjoyable for families?
I understand that overall living cost for my family around 25k/month (midlevel lifestyle, small villa, schools medical ...etc.), am I right?
dont accept less than 10000 USD. per /m.
Don't accept below 35k as you are joining manager post. 35k is reasonable for everything including good savings.

I think you must demand a salary between 30 to 40 thousand minimum. As the above answer shows the expenses, which's is absolutely correct. Good luck man!
I don't know from personal experience, but from what I've been reading 8000-12000 won't be enough for proper housing, only a small apartment. With 3 kids and a wife you will be wanting a villa and I think they go for at least 15k a month. In general for most countries you spend about 1/3 of your wage on renting. So that would calculate a decent wage of about 45k a month.
for u r kids school for three is approx 12000 qr qaterly
for rent aprt with at least three bed 8000 in between 11000 qr
telephone monthly 35.00 qr
water 600.00approx depends on u r consumption
electricity 150.00 in between 250.00 qr
car instalment 2500.00 qr
internet 200 adsl
mob if ur only using min 250.00 not included international calls
house hold 3500.00 for 5 members
so approximately u have an expence for one month is 22500.00 qr and i canot say that how much u want to save in monthly just add that and calculate the air fare and vacation expence so just that to this cost and ask the salary
