i have no idea what a pharmacists offer ranges. knowing that you have to pay for your accommodation and transportation, it is not enough. no question with the foods cz prices are okay but not the cost of living. accommodation and transportaion here are expensive. if they will give you accommodation and transfer, then go for it! it also depends on which country you are from cz it matters...

I am not sure where you are from or what they would pay you in your home country for the same job, but I can tell you that it is very expensive to live here and that if you are required to pay for accomodations and such- it may be difficult to do that on your own. If you can live with others as room mates, you might be alright. In the United States (where I am from) they pay a whole lot of money for pharamasists or even pharmacy techs. I am not sure of your experience or qualifications, but you really should think about all this before you accept this offer.

Good luck though, because we all need that.

If u have to spend for accomodation and transportation by your own then I am afraid that the salary is not sufficient.

to be first timer in gulf it is just good sakary as u said just a start.and in time you will be having increases of course and benefits,but if there are offers that are higher than what they offered you why not right?

Take note that many are working here with less offers than you!!so i say you are just fortunate to have it!!!
