The salary package is fair for a new employee I am sure that is based on the salary bracket for your position. If you will ask for a higher one there may be a risk coz I am sure they have reserve recruits just in case you will not accept it.

I think the package is quite reasonable except your basic salary. This should be around 10k or little bit more than that.

New Aluminum Company at Mesaieed Industrial City is still under construction and god knows when will be operational. If you are coming through an agent then make sure the contract you sign is really with the company itself not any contractor.

Basic salary should be negotiated, should try for five figure salary, rest is okay, however, 2 months bonus I though it is not fixed anywhere in Qatar and is purely depended on the business.
