Working for Government
Hello everyone,
I have been offered a Grade 1 position at one of the Ministries in Qatar as IT Audit Expert. They offered me a total package of 31,000 QR and 5,000 QR housing allowances. Medical insurance is provided for all family members at their specified medical complex/units.
Annual tickets (Jordan) for all family members with 40 days annual leave provided.
Zero interest car loan (45K QR) is provided after one year.
No schooling. Hence, I have 2 kids in SABIS int.
Either I take the 5k p/m housing in cash, or wait for full furnished government housings. I will be entitled for a furniture grant of 30k QR if unfurnished which is depreciated after 3 years, but paid back if resigned within the first 3 years.
I am currently living in Dubai, work is going fine but a change is diffidently needed.
It will be highly appreciated if you could advice me about the job offer if it is sufficient to have a descent life with 5K QR p/m savings?, and shall I take the housing allowance in cash or wait for government housing, if so, how is it like?
Thanks,
QR.31k is not very good package without schooling allowance... education is expensive, especially in International Schools.
You cannot get a decent accommodation for 5000 Riyals. It would be better to wait for FF govt. housing.
No schooling allowance? for two kids in International school will cost min. 18-20k per term for each child.
