Hi,

I am considering for a Section Head post. Could someone advise me if QR 30,000/mth (inclusive of housing) matches the market rate in the Gulf?

Thank you very much.

It is an analyst position, from what I have understood. They won't pay that much to an analyst. They don't pay well in general, this is why they have trouble contracting people as perm. Also I seriously doubt that they will agree on more than 3500 for housing allowance. They have brackets, you know.

I would have assumed a basic salary of around 16,18 k for that job.... rather than trying to increase the basic push for fully expsensed housing or a minimum of 6000 per month housing. If they do not agree I would say dont do it. Also I would look at asking for around 1500 for the car allowance at a minimum.

Can confirm that Qatar is not cheap by any stretach of the imagination, though can be fun if you can afford it.

Ask for at least 6000QAR as the housing allowance. You won't beable to find a place to live below that price.

The housing allowance is shocking - you'll only get a roof over your head if you share an apartment with somebody. A decent flat costs at least QR5000

Your basic salary is ok. Housing allowance is fair although I'd want more considering the state of the real estate market. Check who pays the utilities. Internet costs are here http://www.qtel.com.qa/ProductServicesLinks.do?prodtype=1&prodId=370

You should go for satellite television and you will pay a monthly subscription (depending on the package) of between QR 130-300.

Qatar is expensive, by the way.

Good luck.

The package looks ok I suppose for associate level staff though, if you can tell me what the job is, I can really give you some feedback.
