I have an offer for QR.7500 excluding accommodation, car, medical etc. I am living in KSA for last 15 years for a salary less than that, but my wife is a working lady here. Please guide me if the above salary is enough to survive for my family which is consisting of wife and 4 year old daughter.

One good point is your accomodation is free .But check what type of accomodation it is from the company .

Your expenses would be 2500-3000 QAR for grocery for a family of 2 1/2 persons monthly plus Tel QAR 250 monthly plus medical QAR 100-200 per month plus E+W =QAR 250 per month .

Effectively you may save QAR 3000 if you live really tight without any shopping or much dinner outings.

To Join or Not -you decide based on above , as Qatar is 2.5 times expensive than KSA .

You did not mention about your qualification and the position you are holding in Saudi Arabia. The remuneration package is depending on your qualification and experience. Qr. 7500/- is not bad for a bachelor but with a family it will be bit difficult to survive. Cost of living in Qatar is quite high now a days and if your company can provide you accommodation or an extra allowance then it will be ok. Please note that even if you can find a cheaper accommodation somewhere in Qatar it will not be less than Qr. 4000/- to 4500/-. Then you should think about other expenses like food, school, Water & Electricity, transportation etc. for which you need a similar amount. If you are planning to live with your family the Salary of Qr. 7500/- will not be enough to meet the growing cost of living in Qatar.
