I need your help, please!

I got a job offer from Qatar. Qualified Fitness Instructor, 10 years experience. The company offer me a basic salary of 4500 QAR + accomodation, transportation and helth and social insurance.

Is this salary a fair one, a good one or not? I try this time to find more details about living cost there, in Qatar, but I found many different ideas about food and water expenses, internet or mobile bills, etc ... I am not very spoiled or pretentious but, I have a decent standard and I want also to save some money.

Please, can you help me to figure out this?

Do you have any ideea about the medium salary for a Fitness Instructor (Romanian one - if it counts :)

Thank you

In 4500, u wont be able to save anything and also, ur groceries bill would be around Qar. 2500 ( for a couple) without any lavish spending...SO no lavish weekends at bars and other enjoyment. Look for a basic od Qar. 7000/- plus accomodation plus transport on behalf of your employer..if you are looknig for adecent living..

If u r desperate for a job,then off course, go ahead with the offer.

Incase if they offer near 10000 qr with accomodation than its ok otherwise very low i think. Coz now a days here in qatar qr 4500 have no worth

i consider it low compared to your experience. if there is a scope for a substantial increase, then you may consider this offer
