£51000 tax free, free accmodation, transportation allowance, World wide medical cover, 30 days paid annual leave and family schooling? They have said their are other family benefits but I am still waiting on further details.

Do you think this is a good offer? How expensive is it to live in Doha in terms of food, utility bills etc?

Thanks

I'm not much sure about your needs and taste. But if you get everything for free of cost but your food, then its a decent offer. I guess you've already posted about his prospective employer. And if they are directly hiring your hubby then I'd say stick on to it.

---If you can't CONVINCE them, CONFUSE them!!!

No worries bout d foods n bills out here,,, alla is cheap... but bills in school and in accomodation,,, OMG!

But gudluck then...

We were given: Two hands to hold. To legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find.

It is a good offer go for it, but like Novita said, get it all in writing first. We didn't get all we were promised and it can be a massive let down.

Novita's right...

It's kind of funny to think that really when they say 51 000 a year they mean like for 11 months :P a whole month off... lucky you xD

and for schooling, you have to make it clear you want to send the kids to the british curriculum school. And make sure the company will pay FULL FEES not percentage.
