Is 6K a month ok if you are single and not paying for housing?
By Velvettblu •
HI all, just a little nervous whether this will be ok to survive on. I will have to rent a car and pay for a cell while there but will have free housing. Help, please! Thanks!!
Sorry I guess I wasn't clear. It's 6,000 US per month but I won't be paying rent. With the conversion rate is that approximately 18,000QR per month? Thanks for the help!
i dont know ur circumstances ie are u already in qatar, the hours of the job and do you have higher than secondry education. I moved here in september only having secondry education. I have applied for over 250 jobs and am still looking i thought i could get more than 5500 for a 6+1/2 day job in January so didn't take but now wish i had, just to be working, getting out of the house and doing something with my days. I am on a 6 month visa but i have to fly out of the country every month- expensive when ur not employed!
negotiate, car, housing, telephone & food allowance from your company, your 6k should be your monthly net & you'll be ok as bachelor.
What is your 6K? US or QR? If US that is OK. If QR yoy better decline this offer
What position would you be taking. some only get 3,000 max per month and support family.
Well 6K is not enough because its nothing in these days .Starting basic salary from 8500Qrs + mobile allowance + car allowance + other allowances + home allowance.It also depends at which place you are working and your job designation matters alot.
Ur profile states u are from US of A .... I think 6K a month may not be good enough.... but again depends if u are different than how people from US of A are generally presumed to be living...then may be just OK.
for more detailed analysis just click on the link "sample budget & cost of living" on the right side of this site under "Guide to Qatar" ...and u can workout things depending on ur requirements..
Wish you luck and welcome to Qatar in advance if u finally make it...
