noddy, I believe he will be assigned in IT department. that is, if he's a Software Analyst since his profile says he's an "Analyst".. anyways, for a first timer, 5400+ is good enough to start with, to think that your father is working as an Engineer in Doha.. That would be a good savings for you sincem, as you've said, you're still single.. Good luck to you kabayan.. ^_^
