Offer for a MS SQL DBA

By panchito

I am about to be offered a salary of 19000QAR + 2000QAR Allowance + car (I guess since I was being required an international license) as a Senior Microsoft SQL Database Administrator. I'm an experienced DBA for 5+ years and has been an IT professional for 15 years. Is this a good offer? I indicated to the employer that I'm initially not taking my family there in Doha. Anything good about this company named ICT QATAR which is a subsidiary of MDS Holdings? Any advice folks before I decide? Thanks.

looking at your exp and profile......19k should be basic plus housing + transport....should be fine.

Housing needs minimum 10k plus family exp!

If the 19k is just for basic salary this would be not bad if will provide you the accomodation here in Qatar.
