Let me share my experience :). 2+ years ago, I received an offer from a governmental organisation in Qatar consisting of the following package:
- 32 000 QAR Salary
- 10000 QAR Housing Allowance
- Education for my kid (KG0 then)
- Medical insurance for all my family
- Airfare costs covered for all my family twice per year (Economy)
When I discussed on forums -including here in QL- how much should I receive according to my profile Many suggested that I should not settle less than 50K salary + Housing + the rest of the allowances. I was convinced and tried to negotiate and asked for higher salary and higher housing allowance. They refused and they moved forward to another candidate as I was informed later.
I ended up moving to KSA few months later of course with a package that is actually less interesting than the Qatari one. I accepted because I had to move out from where I was! It was quite urgent!
Now I am again trying to move to Qatar.
So what I say is consider how urgent is it for you to move out of Kuwait. If it is urgent be more lenient and flexible in considering the offers you will receive even if they are a bit lower than what you deserve (Reasonably lower of course). If you are comfortable in Kuwait you can negotiate serenely your package... :)
