Gross 10K, single status; should I accept?
Dear Brother(s),
I am from Bangladesh working in state owned Gas Production Company in Bangladesh since 2000. I have graduated in Mechanical Engg. from NIT, Jamshedpur, India and Post graduated in Petroleum Engg. from Stavanger University, Norway in 2005.
I am married, having one kid. My wife is a fresh Medical Practitioner (Physician). presently she is working in a Clinic in home country.
I have an offer from " DESCON ENGINEERING QATAR L.L.C" as under:
Joining: This/next month
Salary: Gross 10K for 08Hrs
Position: Sr. Mechanical Engineer
Grade:05
Deployment:on bachelor Status
Accommodation:Free
Food:Free
Laundry:Free
Medical:as per Qatari Labor Law
Transportation:Provided by Company( camp to Site and site to Camp)
Leave:24 Paid Annual Leave
Ticket:Economy (Once in a year) Bangladesh–DOHA-Bangladesh.
They already sent me the offer letter for my acceptance. Please advice me on above. Should I Accept the offer? Will my spouse get job in Qatar?
Please advice. I dont have any idea about Qatari life.
But why single status? If I were you I'd query that as it doesn't make sense to me since you're married.
Thanks to Jackmohan and Vignale.
I have declined the offer already.
Waiting for your advice/help to have a better job.
Thanking in advance.
10K is average here for a Contractor, for a Gas Operator you can add 5K, but with your Background and Education especially the Petroleum Engineering degree from Stavanger is Worth Gold in the Oil and Gas Industry and they should pay you way more. If you can't get it here, try elsewhere. The North Sea is screaming for people like you. Way more money, but way colder- but of course you know that.
What Jack says is true for many people. But sounds like you have an opportunity! 10k per month sounds good to me. See how things turn out.
mukul324 ...this offer is in line with salary for Mech Eng in Construction Companies.
The company will house you with other staff ...could be 4 guys in one room! You would also have to travel with your labour staff...as they would not provide separte bus for engineers....
This income is enough for you alone ...but.. if you are thinking about bringing your family here its is just not enough....
Since your working with a state company you would be eligible for pension....if so then I say dont come as the savings would not be much if you have a family....but if you want to come as a single then its ok.
If you get your family here you will be lucky to send home QR 1,000 every month.
