Like novita said, you need more for the rent although if you really look you might find something.

try to push the company to pay the rent, not giving you the allowance.

the salary is fine (you wont save much though) And also no as far as you not having children here ... school fee are expensive.

DaRuDe,

Definitely it is a genuine request for information. . The reason behind repeat thread is that earlier I have put query under the different topic.I thought this is the right destination to get proper answer and useful help.

its not bad for a couple. The rnt is a joke. You will not find an apartment here for less than 7,500QR. The car thing is not bad. maybe its a good salary but you wont save anything. and the 5k wont e enough for rent.

Stop repeating you will get all the information on the one you submitted earlier. else you will be lost comparing both later.
