Shoud I shift to Doha
Hi
I am a doctor,Ortho Surgeon, from India. I have been offered a job in some clinic in idustrial area in Doha offering me 17000 QR per month plus 20% of the total collection in orthopedics above 40000 QR. No accomodation is being offered. I am married with two kids 8yr & 10yr, My wife is a dental surgeon My question is
Is this much salary sufficient for a good quality of life considering so high rents and inflation
How much a doctor earns a month
What is the average OPD fees of a hospital
Any other sugeestion especially from expat Doctor community
Its too low doc, you should not accept the offer. That offer even my engineer able to earn it. Please think it wisely doc you might regret if accept it. Once you accept, no way to turn back, you get stuck at least a year. Please read carefully above all the advise and response from all the people who are concern about you. Cheers Doc.
It is really a bad offer Doctor. You must ask for a family accomodation. A 2 bedroom flat will cost you nothing less than 7k - 10k. Food will cost you around around QR.75 per day if u go for hotels, ie; QR.2250 per Month. If you have ur family with you, obiviously the amount is doubled. (My food expenses: me, my wife and two kids - is between QR.1200 - 1800/Month) Car loan will cost u QR. 1200 - 1800 depending upon the brand and model. your telephone bills may cost you Qr. 500 if you are not a freequent caller. Land line is free here. (Local calls only) School fees are pretty high here.
In short... you will not be able to save anything from your salary... Very soon you will get fraustrated.
Onething more... Industrial Area does not have any good hospitals... ofcourse there are some pvt clinics and govt. clinics.... all the main streets are getting reconstructed... So the traffic jam is horrible... I don't think the problem will be solved before 2010.
Soooo... Think thrice b4 u take the decission.
Why don't u try in Hamad medical corporation or with Al Ahli hospitals?
Try Al Ahli Hospital... the one and only 5star hospital so far in qatar.. Contact Ms. Manal Shakoura - Head - HR
email.. [email protected]
It is a 250 bed super speciality hospital and is getting expanded by 500 beds with all the super speciality departments... Try ur luck ....
That is a horrible offer. Salary too low, housing and education for children should be paid for.
1. Two bed room Flat Qr.8000+/- per month.
2. owning a mid size family sedan Car like Toyota Camry
Qr.2000/- per month x 4 years, as you cant live without it in Qatar (Taxi's are very expensive, Renting cars are risky).
3. Monthly expenses for family Qr.2500/-
4. Education (Indian school) Qr.2000/- for two kids.
now calculate is it a good deal.
Hi
Well 17000 QR is very less for your profession....that too when ur a surgeon. No doubt the rents are high in qatar, and with ur family you might find it difficult to save much at this salary. Just bargain for more salary or rather ask for a accomodation to be paid by your sponsor. All the best for your future.
