Dilemma: QP or Aramco
Hi everybody!!
I need your assistance based on each one's experience. I have two offers, one from QP (appx. 20.000QR per month plus all the usual allowances eg. housing, transportation etc) and one from Aramco - Ras Tanure which is almost 40% higher.
Based on the fact that money is not everything in this life I would be grateful to hear some opinions on what to choose. I have to mention that my wife is an architect and I think it could be much easier for her to work in Qatar comparing to KSA.
Thanks a lot!!
Take QP. No need to explain.. For sure your wife as well as your whole Family will enjoy staying here in Qatar knowing the fact that your in a good and stable company. Just bring out your best for sure you can achieve the 40% difference or higher in due time..
Now I am working in QP and I enjoy it since I joined in 2006... I worked in Ministry of Defense & Aviation in Saudi Arabia and wasted my life for 6 years...
Apart from family life and money, you have to consider one more thing which is professional growth. Where would you be able to grow more and which company would bring you more value professionally in the long term. What I have heard, Aramco is professionally much better than QP with better poicies and more adherence to those policies. QP is also taking steps to improve but there is a long way to go. However, somebody who has worked in both companies would be in a better position to clarify.
If I was given a choice, I would prefer a company which provides with with more chances of professional growth.
QP
QP will be the best option.
Your wife also get some good job here. As Qatar is now in devloping stage.
Family life is good.
No restriction.
Free to travel any place.
Remember: Money is not every thingh after some point of time.
Think: You have lots of money but no enjoyment/restricted.
Best of Luck.

Take Aramco!
It is important to hear that from somebody who has lived to both countries. Thanks!
i have worked both in qatar (2006-present) & saudi (2000-2006) ... if i were you i will choose QP over Aramco though Aramco is 40% higher but you will definitely not enjoy your life in Saudi.. a very boring place and lots of restrictions i should say...if you are ready to live an abnormal life with more money inside your pocket then choose Aramco but if you really want to enjoy life, i strongly advice you to accept the offer from QP... but still it is you who will make the final decision.. just hope you make the right decision... as i said being happy is not all about money...
I think at the end, we will vote the same :) Thanks!!
Thanks a lot! You are right, in these cases only God knows which is the right decision!
person :)
QP is my choice.
Pray to God to guide you in choosing and deciding which one.
Advance congratulations
Aramco is an excellent company,all things are done and followed as per policies,good to work there.Less scope of job for ladies in Saudi.If she gets the job in Aramco then great.Aramco has its own community,which is much free compared to outside saudi community.
Qp is equally good,good social life in Qatar.Great family life.Freedom for ladies to Drive.
You need to decide what you need,money or social life...,I vote for QP.
i think you have answered your own question...QP it is.
