will this be enough? 26 single female...

By wrinklysoul

I have been offered a job in Doha with a Multinational telecom company... I will be in a corporate communications position.

I have over 5 years of experience in leading advertising agencies in India, currently I have a pretty cushy, well-paying job in Mumbai and a fairly decent lifestyle.

I have been offered a basic of 9000 QAR + 7000 QAR for rent, 1000 QAR for travel and annual air ticket + leave... variable bonus and a 2 month retention bonus (which i will get at the end of a year, i am guessing?)

do u think this is enough... seems less to me somehow... I had asked for 30000 QAR...which they freaked out about ;)

I am not a big spender, especially on brands or going out. My main expense will be rent for a decent 1 BR, in a good locality with a gym and pool and i cant drive so I will be using cabs a lot... and I want to be able to save at least 7000 QAR a month.... I am more keen on the experience

Wrinkly....why would you leave a cushy, well paying job & a decent life style of Mumbai to come to Doha???? If you are talking of experience you will have it better in your home country. If you are looking at savings, you will have far better opportunities in your career as you gain experience. Had I been in your place, the amount does not look extra-ordinary to forego the present lifestyle you have mentioned.

Good luck in your decision!

Large contrast in what you asked for and what you have been offered.

If you lead a nice lifestyle in Mumbai; I would stay where you are as I don't think you could save/send back and still have that nice lifestyle here.

Good luck with you decision though xxx

I will hoist that up the flag pole and see who salutes it!!

Sounds like a good deal to me. It's refreshing to see another 'young' prfessional being given a chance.

=)

it's off subject but; this angel character, lol. Starting chit and prob full of chit too. For a 26-35 year old from the UK her English is horrible. Maybe this is part of 'her' secret identety.

The salary offered is good in ur industry sector. The accomodation allowance is also better as the prices are falling.

Compare ur existing salary with this one and u r the right person to decide.

You asked for 30K? i almost fell off my chair laughing lol dream on sista...Do you even know how much 30k converted to Indian Rupeeya is? Do you even think your qualified for that amount, doubt if you even get that much in India lol.

The package you have been offered is perfect for you and you will be able to send home even more than 7k if you know how to live.

TCom...seriously, you actually engaged yourself in this conversation, How so not like you, tell me some other dumbazz was sitting on your ID and sharing this conversation with ANGEL16...cos trust me, knowing you, I wouldn't think you would get into this...o wait, unless you were trying to help a blind headed dumbazz pathetic piece of colored skin who pretty much doesn't have the English accumen, forget Business accumen, that you have, find her way...O yea I get it, you were just helping this lost soul who has by mistakenly picked her brains from the s5it below her azz clean her poor philthy brains, O no no I get it now, all you were trying to do was just help this ANGEL16 girl, merely take her head out of her azz wasn't it...

Now I understand why you were sharing this conversation with her...well looks like brother, her head is deep stuck and glued inside and up around the corner of her azz and it ain't coming out for a long time, so leave the poor soul, and I know it must be tough answering God up there, when he asks you, I sent this lady to be helped, and you didn't help her, but then TCOM, you can always answer him, that you have helped her, but unfortunately You Dear God, when you made her, you placed and glued her head to the back of her azz from the front and round the corner and it was very difficult to take it out, so this was the only one of all your marvellous creations that I couldn't help, and left it thinking, Well "God Also Can Make Mistakes"!!!

AMEN! And Forgive me Dear Lord that I couldn't correct this error in creation...and left it thinking, its a waste of a skin!

:P LOL LOL LOL!
