are you going to get a raise after?

do you earn more in your country?or coming here will give you an opportunity to excel more financially?

hope the questions i asked will give you a different perspective.

anyways,welcome.

rafishacontracting, are you serious?? Food cost you QR400?? are you on diet, nearly starving or what??

I go to buy some vegetables and juice, and some other little stuff, I leave at the store QR100-120 every two-three days.. how you manage feed yourself for 400 whole month?? only rice and water?

food and other expenses for month would be 2500, unless you are on heavy diet, then you will be fine to starve..

I think QR2000 salary is very low (especially if accommodation and transportation allowance are included in that package). You should ask for more or higher salary and clarify what will happen to you after 6mos. Don't just accept the offer. Think first. It's better to be sure. :-)

i agree, 2000 QR is very low.

simply you cant invite your GF, or clubing.

for six months only , what after 6 months. did they gave you pay scale or any increament plan. (route map)

Usually they dont pay even that...they deduct food and accomodation from that like 300 for Food and 400 for accomodation or vice versa...so you will not be getting QR 2,000.

But seriously how can somebody in Management come with QR 2,000 ....its way too low...compared to expenses here.
