My husband has got an offer as Admin Assistant. He will be provided with Accomodation. Food has to be taken care by himself. Will 2000QR be enough to live there and also save and send to me and my son?

Actually 2000 Riyal is normal salary here, but as an Admin Assist it is not enough..here in Qatar everything is expensive, better find another job. thanx...

advice: do not accept it.. look for a job that salary is about 4k-5k.

My advise for you is to accept the QR2,000 salary for your husband. Keep this in your mind that NOBODY will give you QR2,000 salary in your home country. Life nowadays is too difficult, due to the rising costs of prime commodities.

Our office teaboy gets a salary of QAR 2000 and free shared accomodation and annual airtickets plus free medical 100 % paid by company at pvt clinics .

As admin assitant he must get QAR 7000 +accomodation+medical+annual tkts to home +30 days leave annually .

Better to be a Lion at home than to be a donkey in qatar .

even he tried his best it will be impossible for him to provide you and your son an adequate allowance to live on if he still have to deduct his food for that salary..as admin assistant, he could not be able to do any overtime as an additional income...don't try to accept it, it's not worth a try..you will only regret it!...

Just a friendly advice NOT to accept. Cost of living is too high and 2000 riyal is too low specially if you are family man.

What is the job your husband has been offered? If he is well qualified and experienced then I will say that the oofer is too low.

BTW, There are lots of people working here even for lesser salary. It depends on the lifestyle of your husband how much he is going to spent on food. I know some guys earning 2500 riyals without accommodation and saving money.

very difficult even if your husband was to eat sand... unless you and your son agree to very lower standards of life. i know truth is bitter.
