?????

but where is the good areas to live in in qatar

thanks all for your kind replies :) i already accept it

Good means good, Average is average and bad refers to bad.

That's good, you have accepted the job...Congratulations!!

Hi,

I will be moving to Qatar early 2011 and was offered a salary of 16,500QAR per month (including all allowances, only extra they pay is a return ticket home every year for me and my wife)

I am European and married. I am 33 years old. No children. I would like to know if this is a reasonable salary to live on - apart from the experience our goal is to see as much as possible in the Middle East & surrounding region.

What are your suggestions? I would like to know about cost of living and renting costs (car & house).

Many thanks

many thanks all i accept it el hamdullah

but any one knows if grade 11 is good

on lighter side RIZK is in INDIA not with Allah ( LOL) only take it as a joke.

Accept the offer.Work hard and INSHAALLAH you will get a good raise.Always remember,the Rizk is with ALLAH SWT.All the best.

is okay, u can save

Rent 4000

Transporation Car EMI : 1500

Food expenditure : 2500

Misc expenses ( Phone & others) : 500

Total you will spend around 8500 so still u can save around 5000QR so accept it and welcome to Doha.

The salary is OK to live normal life in qatar. in my opinion if ur daughter is not going to school yet then go for it, but if she is young (in school or in the university) then you might face some difficulties

any body here

Please more comments and advices

what do u mean by it is an average salary scale does it good or not

It is an average salary scale.

Saving depends upon your life style only :P

thanks the investor so do u think it worth it for my age

Hello, i am egyptian as well but older than you. Listen you can accept the offer but do not expect to save a lot as you will pay almost 4000 for rent, about 1500 to 2000 as car monthly installment & about 3000 at least for monthly expenses without having too much fun. so you will be able to save about 1000 USD per month which is fine for somebody in your age. but if you are expecting to save more then do not come or ask for more.For furniture allowance it is going to be depriciated over 4 years but they will not pay it to u every for year check with them again,for end of year profit share do not expect more than two to three month for the basic maximum. also for promotions it is not that easy may be after 3 or 4 years.So you may accept the offer to gain the gulf expriance then you can start searching for another job in gulf as they always say for egyptians " you do not have gulf experiance"

the monthly allocation is as follows :

work on grade 11

basic 5000

housing 3000

transportaiton 1000

ticket allowance 1000

market adjusment 3500

---------------------

total of 13500 per month

---------------------

and 25000 for furnishing my apartement

plus the following

Medical for me and my family + Life insurance + Bounous + profit share

thats all

i'm 25 years i have 3 years of exp,

thanks alot.

I am just trying to understand. Your ticket allowance - will they pay you for your ticket on a monthly basis? or will they only give you QR1000 when you are leaving to go home?

Sorry your breakdown doesn't make any sense. I get the Basic Salary and Car Allowance and Housing....

What is a ticket allowance 1000, market adjusment 3500, furniture allowance 25000?

Are they giving you money to furnish your home? You might as well pocket that money and use it towards getting furnished apartment - which for a 2 bedroom is about QR8,000 - If you are only earning QR13,500, your salary diminishes drastically and you are only left with QR5,500 for a Car, monthly utilities, groceries, school fees and entertainment.... and if you are only getting QR1000 for your airticket home, then you are going to need to save for the rest of your ticket and that of your wife and child.

thanks all but there is plus the above monthly allocation 13500

a bounus + profit share + medic insurance for whole family + life insurance + furniture allowance every 4 years + end of service one month over every year and my child is still 8 month old far away from school i could get pormoted or something and here in egypt not very good than that :( and i still 25 years old

so what do u think

double it

The lowest grade accomodation costs at least 4500, Schooling for your child costs at least 1000 per month with transportation in ordinary arab or asian schools, your own transport and utility will be at least 2000, food expenses wont be less than 2000 ,yearly ticket to your country for the whole family would be at least 6000 per year. That leaves not much. But if you have a worse condition over there then grab at the opportunity.

You will be able to find better prospect later on.

lousy and the market adjustment is separate so no bonus no end of service and possible during leave you done get.

basic should be 15-18k min and everything on top

how about schooling? this is expensive here 20k x 4

what do you expect

Maybe this is good, I dont think so. Housing is expensive! Better to get them to give you accommodation. Have you thought of education costs? Better to ask someone in your own situation! i think this is not a great offer for someone who has to work in a suit! Think carefully!

whats good for me, maybe bad for you.

U R WELCOME TO QATAR.
