QP Job Offer Advice and Site Interview
Hello,
I have received an invitation for a site interview in Qatar. I am not sure whether the offer is good or okay. The reason is I make little more than the offered basic salary. If you guys can make some comments that would be great. By the way I am from Canada, and in QP the position is a Grade 14 as a System Engineer. My question is can we negotiate on the basic salary range at all? What do you think about this offer.
------------------------
Contract Type ----->Indefinite
Monthly Basic Salary Range ----> QR 18,000- 20,000 (Qatari Riyal)
Monthly Housing Allowance ---> QR 14,200
Monthly Transport Allowance --> QR. 2,000
Furniture Allowance --->QR 55,000
Car Loan 5 times Basic Salary (Interest free)
Annual Leave + annual flight tickets
Children's Education Assistance Paid as per QP Policy
Thanks a lot for your time.
The offer seems reasonable and as per QP salary structure for a Systems Engineer. You willl also get WIA (Western Inducement Allowance) close to 3,000 QR and QP now also pays currency adjustment. So, it C$ becomes expensive as it was before, it will not effect you.
Now can you negotiate ? well if you try hard they may give you 500 QR more. Do not expect a big change in basic salary. It will not happen. QP has a take it or leave it policy.
Enjoy
I imagine that you will receive additional allowances such as WIA and whatever else they pay now. No doubt someone will enlighten you.
seems a reasonable offer. might be room for negotiation, but if u dont ask, u dont get!
