Hey everyone,

I just got a job offer in an oil & gas company in Qatar.

The salary says Grade 5 with QR10,900 as the basic. The company will provide both Housing and Transport Allowances.

Please, is this a good offer as I am planning to bring my wife later on?

Thanks.

Joe.

Being with shell is a good start. For me stay with shell for another 3-4 years, and your salary will double when you come here.

basic of QR 15-20k is a good start..

That's a salary for a junior position.

I agree with Shenila, 18k+ minimum. Otherwise stay with Shell for 2-3 more years and you will make a lot more in the future with some good experience.

Once you're here, you salary may only go up minimaly compared to inflation. So you should come here with a good starting salary.
