Considering the offer entirely depends on your profession..you should have mentioned that..only writing down experience is not enuf for a proper answer for eg: I would say this gross of 33k is amazing for a 10yrs experience Secretary..lol..but its not fine for a 10yrs experienced Chartered Accountact in a Central Bank or a Manager in very High profile Company!

anyways,,coming to your savings...you can save alot..specially if you are taking your allowances rather than accomodation from company..for single/two, you will very good flat for half the price of ur allowance..also, you will save a lot from your basic..& even ur transport allowance will bring u savings..

all the best..& at this market situation..getting this offer is generous.... so grab it.!

Dear fellow,

That's relative...Compare the offer with what you gettin now, I mean your current income.

Similar to anywhere worldwide , you can live on US$ 1000$ / month or your expensenses may reach as much as ten times (10,000 $)a month. In qatar, a family can decently live with 8000-10,000 QR /month + MIDDLE CLASS accomadation 8,000 QR + SCHOOLING 2000 qr a month . That makes around 20,000 QR in total. you may back-calculate any anticipated savings. As to the car, credit business help getting whatever car you may dream and that cost 2000-3000 QR /month for you to own a 2009 Model -luxuary car . Don't forget annual vacation, family airtickets and medical insurance costs....

Good Luck

Hello,

I got a very similar offer and I rejected some months ago.

Now, with a disaster global economy I would like to came back and have this opportunity again.

With this offer I guess you could save 1.500 $ x month if your life style is not too expensive.

Moreover, I was well impressed about quality of life in Doha (I love sea and sailing).

The reason why I rejected was that I had to move very quick and I was scared of such a big change in my life and no time for fixing some business in my hometown.

My suggestion is to accept and enjoy!
