Hello everybody,

My boyfriend is going to move to Doha, in October, and I'm thinking about going with him. I'm Project Manager in a IT company, so I can have the opportunity to work there.
Are there many women working in this areas? In my country, I'm used to be then only woman at my office, but I don´t know if it is usual in Qatar.

Thank you for your help!

I'm just thinking about it, but I'm not still sure.

I don't think that "my problem" would be getting a job, because my company has now some projects in Doha.

I suppouse than everything depends on the person you have to work with, and you can find good and bad partners everywhere.

Thanks everybody for your advices.

Nekane, it is possible for female engineers to get jobs here. Having said that, I'd advise you to look for (and get) a job before you decide to move here.

if you are very lucky you might get a job. But honestly it will not be easy getting a job and secondly people here are not used to working with women specially in the engineering sector.

Anyways best of luck.

Ohh, But I'm not afraid for that.

What I mean is if going to be difficult for me to get a job of Engenieering just because being a woman. I'm used to work all time with many men and just a few women, so I don't mind if my work-partners are men or women.

Thanks
