I suggest that if you want to know the grade scale ranges in QP that you ask them.

Actually the furniture allowance in grade 16 is now 55, ooo QR.

 

The car allowance is 3 months salary.

 

I'm not sure what 12k in aussi dollars equals in QR. But I think you should look at this in terms of career advancement since they don't seem negotiable on pay.  I agree the salary for doctors at QP is crap!

shaqalaih ... u cant just ask people a good offer or not good offer. Everyone have their own situation. Mortagage, child allowance, and any other expenses back home.

 

If you ask other QL'er who makes QR 3000 a month of course they will say it is a good offer.

 

Some one who makes QR 40.000 basic salary will say your offer not good enough.

 

Only you can decide.

 

Just make sure you do the sum carefully.

 

I assume the house will be fully furnished? Any furniture allowance if you allocated to non furnished house.

 

And also standard practice for QP to get a free interest car loan up to 4 or 5 mths salary (cant remember) for 4 yrs. Maybe you can clarify with them too.

i know QP building a housing estate for senior staff, you should push them to give you a house not allowance. Your housing allowance will get you nothing. 

 

Hope this help.

if you posted in Dukhan, QP have their own compound. Rather in the old side, but they do have their own cafe, little groceries shop and pools.

 

Dukhan also have their own school (if you have any kid/s).

 

The only down side living there, you will bumped into the same person day and night. At work or socializing during the weekend.

Shaqalaih will you be posted in dhukhan? Most Docs with QP seem to have a choice?

P.S. What is your special interest? As you mentioned that you are a GPwSI.

 

I have sent you a private email explaining some of these things InshAllah. And based on your experience can give you some ballpark salary figures of other western doctors we know.  

 

It appears you have not been to the interview yet. InshAllah it will be fine. I would only recommend you ask for an extra day to check Doha out. As QP only gives 2 days and most likely your plane will leave at 12AM in the morning on the second day! Also they will only pay economy class!

 

p.s. HR will buy your ticket at the very last minute and make it much more expensive for themselves! My husband recieved his 1 day before departure!

to get something appropriate for 6500 - ask for accommodation...then you don't have the challenge when after one year the rent increases...

thats good offer. Take it. But you need to top off your QR6000 housing allowance from your company with your own pocket money to get descent Apt or villa which is cost around 10.000 - 20.000 Riyals.

Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.
