Questions (urgent responses are appreciated):

yes it is reasonable, actually without the schooling fees, your package is quite good. Rents are expensive, if you read yesterdays gulf-times, you can see a report that shows expected cost of living for a family with two kids.
and with your husband working, you will definetly enjoy life in Doha. any way when u get here tell me since i work in a local banks treasury and we can do some business together later on. cheers
I always tell the truth, even when I lie
Thanks Don.
Is a treasurer with a telco co. USD8k basic pay per month in plus housing & transport allowance mentioned earlier sound reasonable?
I can help you but you did not say what's your total package. Are a treasurer at a bank or a senior dealer at the treasury department.
cost of 3 series full 130k and 5 series 523 165k
I always tell the truth, even when I lie
