1) Basic=16000/month with standard allowance like Transport(2000/month), Location allowance (1150/month),Commuting allowance (800/month).
2) Total salary would be 20000/month.
3) Contract is Definite for 3 years
4) Please note I would NOT be ENTITLED for increase in BASIC salary for 3 years.
2) Housing would be provided by company.
Please Guide on below,
A) Whether offered Basic is Good? is there any room for Negotiation.
B) What would be monthly expenditure for 4 family members including 2 school going children.
C) How much I can save monthly ?
Thanks in Advance.
take it
i am the same
and got ur half basic
i may dream about this salary according to the place i am right nw which never estimate ur knowledge and favor some people to other.
take the offer , don't stop my whole package is half ur basic..
with kids and a family... your life in Qatar is going to cost at 8000 to 10000 ryals a month.. that's if you want to live comfortably and happily...
I would say push and negotiate a little bit more, but don't lose them.. the fixed for 3 years is not uncommon.. but usually you renew!
Friends thanks for your valuable inputs.
1) Please note, schooling shall be provided by company.
2) No-one has commented on the fixed basic for 3 years definite contract, can anyone tell me whether Definite contract with Fixed Basic for 3 years is Normal offer made to Expatriate?
3) I am tragetting saving upto 8000 to 10000 Riyal/month is it possible with 16000 basic?
Bye
@Alladin2022 - If it is so, good for QG and good for its employees
Mech Engg. with 15 years experience is too low even if you are Indian (Asian = 2nd Class may be even 3rd class).
At least you should get 25K/Month.
my 2 cents - QR 16000/month is what we will talk about(forget about the allowance for now). A person with your experience in core O&G sector commands a minimum of QR 25000 upwards. You are being shortchanged just because you are from India. Go on a negotiation overdrive since this is a definite contract. It is more difficult to negotiate when contracts are open-ended.
How much is your housing allowance? A good comfy place for you and family will set you back anywhere between 6000-9000 for a 3bhk apartment or 10000-12000 for a villa.
You really need to find out for sure if kids edu is paid for, else you won't have a penny left in your wallet
If you are working for an O&G PSU in India, I would suggest you think deep before making this move. Don't consider moving here if there is a marginal-moderate increase in actual take-home pay.
Finally, once again, don't ever undersell yourself. Capitalize on your knowledge and experience and go where your worth is recognized. Good luck.
just come its good offer they will provide you the accomodation in their community and for sure they are also providing the school facility within community as they have the alkhor international school which is off world class its better to clear about the education expenses of ur kids normally they are giving this facility up to two kids just chekc with them
Without school fees you will come up short.
