Salary for grade 8-9 in Qatar Airways
Dear everybody,
First of all thank you for all your contributions, I have read quite a lot but some post seems dated or irrelevant.
I am trying to anticipate a bit as I may have to answer the QA offer in a quick manner.
I will be made an offer for a qualified position in finance as grade 8-9.
I am from western europe, i have a few years of experience and know the middle east as I have lived in dubai in the past.
My wish by going to work with qatar airways in terms of financial and living are:
-having a good one bedroom appartment on my own, recent, with facilities, centrally located, beeing able to go to most places without too much traffic jams. Living in an area which looks clean and not like some mumbai or karachi area (please no offence).
-I am not a drinker neither I like to go often to fancy places to eat but just some decent stuff like some steakhouse or italian restaurant as you may find in dubai. I cook 4 days out of 7...
-I will bring my own car so all i should need is maintenance gas and full insurance
-I wish to save at least 6,000QR a month
-Want to enjoy the ID90 flights for me and family (brothers sisters and parents)
My questions are, if they offer me an apartment, will it be at least a non shared 1bedroom? And are the QA accommodation worth to live in or I should take the money get one in the city?
If you live in QA apartment can you have guest as you wish? As i plan to have friend and family visiting me .
Can you decorate and bring your own furniture and electronics?
Are cabin crew in the same compounds/building as finance grade 8-9?
Also, considering all the above. What do you think I should accept as salary?
I was thinking 20k + accommodation.
I may consider from 16k+ accommodation depending on other advantages (I may get married in a year or so and may want to include some advantages for my wife).
Below that, they may just keep their position as I can find a job in dubai which is a nicest place to stay.
(Please, just to avoid out of subjects answer, I do not want to argue about QA being a good or bad company, I am a positive person and tend to overcome the bad side of the jobs which are quite common in middle east anyway wether you are in dubai or doha.)
Thanks in advance to all of you.
I would rather prefer answer from western people or developed country as they may understand my needs better.

Dear Geeldoon and doha2022,
Thanks for your answers, but they are pretty opposite lol...
Will I have the choice or not?
If not, is there any major inconvenient in the accommodation provided to managerial level ? (not free to invite people, not free to decorate or furnish, can't put satellite or internet on my own...bad ambiance and people all talking about each other...?)
And Doha2022, I am ok with QA, if I am not pleased there, it will be a good line on my CV if I take a 2-3 years experience there.
My lifestyle is let's say, comfortable, but not fancy at all so I guess if If have 16k + accommodation I could indeed save something near 10k, which would be great.
I must say, just the ID90 in business sounds like freaking awesome! But does it means I pay 10% of business class fare ? hmmm so it's like 30% of the economy...cause business is generally 3 times more expensive than economy?
For Azamat:
YEs some people are not obsessed by saving money but rather live comfortably and save a decent amount of money after leisure and all deducted.
If I am saving a MINIMUM of 72,000QR per year i'm ok. Would rather wish 100,000QR but prefer to plan conservatively.
it s good offer , but comparing to other companies don t have high hopes as QA salaries considered much less, for the accommodation , it will be allocated to you and you don t have choice between the housing allowance and the accommodation , you will enjoy the rebates tickets as ID 90 in a business class , beside the insurance , transport , school fees and others , and depend of your life style ,you can save up to 10 thousands , so welcome and good luck
Grade 8-9 in Qatar airways is in the managerial level. dont hesitate to accept the offer. as of accommodation better to take the money and get a flat of your choice. Accommodation allowance is in the range of QR 6000 ten 10,000. All in all i will say good luck
you have pretty high tastes for someone who's looking to save a paltry QR. 6000 p.m.
