The market is competitive and you can give it a try at the time of the interview. Unless, the job is specifically for westerners (some jobs here are specifically for western nationals and this is indicated in the ads), or job responsibilities closely match your qualifications and experience, you may not get your target. Keep your fingers crossed though, and all the best of luck.

30k is around 7000 euros. My monthly net income (including my wife salary) is 5000 euros. And that includes contribution to receive a pension after 66 years.

30k ia good if I didn't have incomes.

The problem is that in the next interview, I will need to give a value before their offer.

That's why 60/70k is the minimum that I can ask.

Best1974: I am not aware of the salary slab of this position at Qatar Airways. But looking at the market, I would guess you may get an offer of 30K plus accommodation allowance which may be around 10-12K. If this position carries family status, then you may be getting some cash for your children's education. Since your children will be attending a school under western management, it is going to cost a bit.

This is the best guess I can make. Just wait and see what they offer and then you will be in a better position to weigh between what is on offer and what you already have in hand in your country.

Acchabaccha,

I understand your point of view and agree on that.

Let me tell you that I'm from west but was born in Africa and I'm not white. All my education was done in Europe.

I have a estable job, a good income and my wife also works and have a good income.

Going to Doha is because we want to change our life because we are not totally happy in the current job. But its a big risk for us and that's why I will ask a good income to take that risk.

Any more ideas about how much can I ask?

Thank you

I guess your expectations may be a bit too high.

I am saying this because I too hold a Masters and have over 20 year's first-hand working experience in the field of supply chain management. I have worked at major industrial and commercial organizations in the ME. I had set up from ground-level the procurement and warehousing sections of a major industrial plant when it was under construction and successfully managed both the departments for several years. But then, I come from the eastern part of the world and am brown-skinned. Possibly, because of this, I could never draw something even close to 20K as a complete package.

But then, as I had stated earlier, you are a westerner and Qatar Airways is huge company. For a westerner in the ME, the sky is the limit when it comes to salary and perks at jobs. Qatar Airways must be having a salary bracket for this post and you can just try out your luck asking for the figure you have in mind, or even higher. It all depends how well you can negotiate during your interview.

You sure have an advantage over people from countries in the East or Africa simply because of your passport. I have rubbed shoulders during my working career with people from the west who were not worth 2 cents, yet were basking in the glory of the Mideast sunshine.

The view that generally prevails here is: The white man is the right man.

Best of luck in your interview.

It's in the procurement department.

Can I ask more?

It all depends on your field of work and your specialization. And of course since you are holder of a western passport, that adds to the weight.
