By Mumy

hi all ,
we r a family of 5 members , husband wife and 3 kids, 2 at school . We r egyptians and wondering if our package will be enough for us . My husband working in the field of IT with experience of 13 yrs is offered as follows: 15400QR salary +1500QR housing + 1500QR car allowance, in addition to 80% of tuition fees for the kids. Relocating allowance of 4800$ once. He will also get end of each year 39600QR. in addition to one month bonus of 22000QR. Medical insurance is provided for the whole family and flight tickets once per yr.
what do u think is that a good thing to take , or are we gonna suffer for living there?

knoxcollege , his salary should be 22000 but he will get every month 70% which is 15400 and the rest he'll get at the end of the year plus the one month bonus . this is how it works.

22000 Q.R. and 39600 yearly bonus comes around 60K Q.R. per year. which is almost 5K per month. OR am I reading/interpreting something inaccurately.

not everyone lives in a villa...

and Vegas...

there is no rule that your home rent should be less than your housing allowance !

You will need a two bedroom flat at the very least...

ideally a three bedroom flat

you would be lucky if you can find a two bedroom flat for 6000 QAR

and two bedroom will be upwards of 8000 QAR

the rental situation in Qatar is very very crazy...

even if you do come over, you probably will have to start working along with your husband if you want to save anything...

I have a friend of mine from Egypt who shifted here and is regretting the decision...

send me a PM and I can give you his number and you can speak to him directly...

He too is from the IT field...

personally, I feel that with 13 yrs of experience, your husband ought to demand a better package...

i guess the whole family will suffer with that housing allowance, dont u think Hashin? The basic just only enough to get a villa for them.
