mbijlee, thanks for your response. It comes to me as a shock how ridiculously costly it is to rent in Doha, can you please tell me, what kind of accomodation will $1500 per month will buy me? For sure I will not be paying $50K per month, that's insane. Was wondering who will pay this absurd amount? I will probably do not have to negotiate the salary with my potential employer knowing such horror stories. Thanks again.
