QR 7000 sucks!!

Ask for 25,000 at the very least!

This is very low even for asian with your experience. Make sure you get company accommodation with this otherwise find something else.

He said he is a diploma holder, I believe it is technical..In that case this is too low especially in Qatar..

don't you guys think it also depends on the position, not only a color of your passport? Executive project manager in the construction field would make, i'd say, i bit more than that.. but if you have been offered a tea-boy position in construction company for this salary, so grab it, don't think twice...

Maybe what they meant is; LOOK FOR OTHER FIRM OR COMPANY THAT OFFERS RIGHT.

Living in Doha is expensive, 7 thou. is only right for a sigle man with free accommodation.

GoodLuck!

Hello Dear

Qr 7000/= PM. This is very very low salary if u r 20yrs experience in construction field. Let me inform u that Qatar is v v expensive country now a days in the middle East.Here in Qatar average 2 bed room apartment need to pay QR 7500 to QR 8500 PM. Grosery items are expensive than neighbouring countries. U can say for a small family of (2+2Kids), Average monthly expensis is about QR 3000 PM.

If company provides u family accomodation, Transportation, and other basic benifits like yearly Ticket for u and ur family, the i can say u will save a maximum of QR 3000 PM out of ur QR 7000/= PM salary.

Marhabtain is right. For Asians, that is a pretty good salary especially if one is coming from a third-world country. But you cannot pay an American or European the same salary. So, the decision is yours.
