I ( Mohammad Shameem Khan), Have been selected by Qatar Airways Company. They are offering me QR 4329, with no accommodation and meals.
I am an MBA - Human Resource plus 2 years of experience.
Please reply. because still i can negotiate on this. because i am in dilemma.
how much salary should i ask for? one thing is sure they are not going to provide me company Accommodation.
Am i being underpaid?

Please help me out revert with appropriate solutions.

I have to reply them ASAP.

Waiting for your positive response.

Anything less than 8000 do not accept.

So ask them back is this figure given weekly ? :)

Or let them recruit from uganda

Never accept this kind of offer in Doha. It's like joke. They are doing fun with your future. Don't accept any offer less than QR. 8,000 if there is no company Accomodation. Good luck brother.

Don't accept this offer. The amount which they offer you is very less. you can't live with that money in Doha. Minimum basic salary you need 8000-10000 with out housing and food. If you want a bacheler sharing accommodation in Doha you have to pay minimum 1500-2000 QR.(if you get you are lucky) If you want a independent 1BHK you have to pay 5000-6000 so you can imagine whats going on here. Food in restaurent's also very expensive. AS you have a MBA degree and 2yrs exp. you can negotiate with them to get better offer otherwise my opinion leave this and try for better one.

Wish you all the best.

MBA+exp -must demand QAR 14,000-15,000 per month.

Otherwise not worth coming over .
