Some old questions, sorry
Good day fellow members!
I'm receiving an offer today for a position in Doha.
I have previously lived in the Middle East (Abu Dhabi) and in some African countries before. If I accept, my family will come up with me (wife and 23 months old baby), but obviously once once I'm settled, come to think of it, that couple of months will seem like years, gonna miss the lil one!
Anyways, from the looks of things, the starting package will be around 18k all inclusive. My question is will this be decent for a family of 3? I had a look and from what I can gather, you are looking at around 6-8k for a furnished 2 bed unit, how accurate is this?
Thank you in advance
I'll keep all of that in mind when deciding on a place.
Thanks for the info!
Ok buying a 2nd hand car in q is not always the best thing to do but hey, ur choice. U can get a nice sedan for under 100k but remember man with small car gets driven ova hahahahaha ha. Industrial area mmmmm ezdan u sure gonna do some traveling. U probably cud get something closer but gonna be very congested. Central omg it is ova populated cause every1 wanna b in the cities and some of the areas look like slums. So yeah do some homework b4 u just take a place. A drive tht can take u on a Friday 15 minutes can end up in hrs on any other day. Try muaitha tht is close to industrial area and opposite Doha zoo as well.
Spybot ...
what are the good location to look at for living (central)
Will be working in the industrial area as I'm in the automotive sector.
Life style, well I guess that depends on what the budget allows. What about purchasing a car instead of renting?
I had a look on www.qatarsale.com, renting does not seem like the best option for me, just my opinion
Neil good on you tht u got 20k however, my question too u is wht is ur life style. Ezdan 4sure u can get a place at tht price, where is your work location? Hiring a small vehicle and I am talking small will cost anywhere from 1200-2200 p/mnth.PPL tht are telling u it is a good package some of them earn way less thn tht, I have seen ppl and their basic is 20k excluding perks. So yeah prepare urself for a rude awakening cause yes only petrol is cheap in Q at the moment and prices are rising as it is all abt the rate Q is growing and all is cashing in if u know wht i mean.
Managed to get 20K
Offer signed and mailed :)
N.
Good calculation ...
decent offer... go for it!!!
its a good offer but ask till 20K.
U can easily get in ezdan 2 bedroom for affordable rate (so no worries on that)
If u prepare and eat food in the house, then for monthly grocery keep around 1000 approx
if u eat once in a week out then per month 600 riyals approx u keep
Should be okay to start with.
its pretty much right. furnished apartments 2 BHK starts from 6000 - 15000, depends the standard of living.
18K is good package, since you dont have school going kid you can save upto 2000 US $.
Hope this will help.
oops ..3 months old baby ..lol
