We pay US $ 1500 + provide all facilities for our Kabayan Cost Engineer :)

for the 3K lodging allowance, you will survive but on limited "extra curricular activities". The 6K, you can send half of it to your family and keep some as savings or for personal expenses. I knew a lot of our "kababayan" earning a little bit lower than that but is happy working here. When you're here, you can always source-out other jobs in other neighboring countries. Of course, finish your contract first and be patient.

don't expect that you will be getting the exact job description on your title....there are situations here that they will source out an engineer from our country and will end up here working as technician...kaya kung mapride kang tao...think more than a hundred times...

kabayan, depende sa lifestyle mo rin eh... kung ako makaka save ako niyan ng 5th a month..

My fellow kabayan, if you are a bachelor then the offer "may" be feasible.

If you have plans of taking your wife with you here in time, better think twice.

You will go crazy with the inflation and yes, Qatar is a very expensive place to live in.

"what about inflation and the high cost of living here"

"Applicable to all SEA and Far East as well" doesn't make a difference

MR - yes but what about inflation and the high cost of living here

TCOM - They come here knowing that they can earn at least twice/trice of what they are getting in their home country :)

MR - right but when they come here and see the pay scale of the others in the same field they get disappointed and sad and then start cribbing over it

[img_assist|nid=50852|title=hmm|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

TCOM - That's why they are outsourcing :)to get the best for the cheepest price :)

For a telcom engineer its very less A technician het more then around 6K basic

binuqatar - Why don't you ask him to demand QR 50,000 a month

It depends on your lifestyle. If you are single you can save more by this offer especially if you live in a sharing accomodation..

with family you ask qr 9000 and 5000 HRA OR FREE ACCOMMODATION, KID SCHOOL FEES...ETC
