You should not display your offer at a public domain like this. You may fall into trouble if any of your HR guy would have seen this post.

I am sorry to say but it shows a very un-professional behaviour from your part.

Best of Luck !!

While you negotiate further, ask them one more question: What are their long term plans w.r.t IT; that is are they going to outsource their IT to a vendor? If yes, then your a$$ will be the first one to be kicked out as they would rather prefer a local or a Arabic speaking person to stick around with them; you would only be a stop gap arrangement.

A very important point to keep in mind before taking up any IT (especially IT - Admin kind of role) role in this part of the world.

Gud luck.

....the offer is really a good one...CBQ is a sound financial institution. The yearly bonus applies for every year....the amount depends upon the business of the bank. Apart from that...you would be entitled to a QR-30,000/- Loan without interest for furniture & fixture every three years.
