Hi All,

I am an American looking at possible position in Qatar.
I have 10 years experience and a University degree. I would be working as a PM on several construction projects. Is a salary of 23,500.00 QAR / month + shared housing + 1 trip back home a year adequate?

What do you guys think?

Thanks,
Nomad

I did just send send them an email asking them to reconsider.

Baldrick...if your outgoing PM is leaving an open position I know this GREAT American who is a GREAT fit :)

Too low Nomad32... but companies now days are really on tight budget. But u may try to talk to them and ask for reconsideration on your package.. Shared housing is a big NO-NO..Goodluck!

Care to name and shame the company that's offering such a crappy package?

Double it ... AT LEAST

Own house (15-20,000 rent), own car, private medical cover.

Shared housing??? Yeah, that's kinda a tip-off that it's a rip-off.

Thanks guys. I though it was a low package especially with the shared housing as I would be responsible for a few projects at the time.
