Employment as i was told is definite for 3 years, but renewable at the end of the three years.

What's the average annual bonus package? It should be at least 6x your salary base. Just pose this question. Also, it would be nice to add a 20% market-based adjustments. Some companies give this to US/ Canadian and British citizens. So, if you are one of them, I guess you should go for it. Hit the maximum!

It all depends on your style. If like to eat out and have your btl of good french wine. If you have pyments back home and Shop only brands it is tight.

if you are happy to get a deecent 2nd hand car and have a normal moderate style you should be able to put 5 k in the bank....

if the money is enough it is all relative how you deal with it.

In general the support allowances are good and should be sufficiant... enjoy Doha

plenty enough - accommodation and schooling are the BIG costs in the Middle East. As these are sorted, sounds like you should be saving most of your wage!
