Hi, a new employer has offered 120k basic and 144k housing allowance, and they have quoted 264k as total renumeration. There are other benefits as well but

My question is, is the salary 120k or 264k.

ie. do i earn 264k even if i stayed in cheap accomadation therefore not using much of the allowance.

10k basic /month is very less..but you don’t have to use 12k for your house...you can get good 2 bed apartment for 6-7k..try to negotiate your basic...

IMO it must be the salary that Qatar (or for that matter any other place) offers which is making you move to this place...and you and many others try to discuss the understanding of that here on an open forum, which all the time surprises me. Shouldn't you discuss and clarify these matters with the concerned contact in the company that is hiring you.

Yes, but your raises and end-of-service gratuity will be based on your basic salary. (PS, is this per month or year?)
