How is the employment scene for dependent ladies in Doha? My wife is a finance professional with over 4 years experience in India. She will be on a dependent transferable visa. Can she expect good oppurtunities? And what will be the salary?

hi

Its very weird to ask how much salary to demand, as it really depends upon what qualification your wife has.....is she an MBA, CA, M.com or only a diploma in Finance.Even I am an MBA in Finance. When I applied for a job in Qatar, (2 years back) with only 1n half years experience in India, I was offerd QR 5000 salary per month in a bank. Which I think was not bad to start with.....so U can ask your wife to apply for a job in banks as they are good payers in Finance field.She can ask for more salary as her experience is that of 4 yrs.

All the best.

I have graduated last year and have 1 year experience at marketing area. I have got an offer with 14000 QR(housing & transportation included) and people say that it is enough for a single lady.

Sorry to say that it is a IDIOTIC question to ask "how much salary"

A lot of people, nowadays ask this quetison, what is the salary for mechanical engr, driver, etc etc....

when you say your wife is a finance professional, do you mean, she is a CPA, CA, ICWA, or just MCom,,,,or Bcom + typewriting..

It depends of variuos factors for salary.

I know some offices who look for Accountants only Females under husbands sponsorship

No...you can expect 'any' salary. Here, i felt, in addition to the qualifications, experience 'luck' is very important. I know many ppl with low qualifications and less experience getting good salaries....so...try your best...I'm experienced with more than 10 yrs...but new ppl are getting more than my salary...as my friend told...this is MIDDLE EAST..........

its easy to get a job, but to get a job as per her qualification thats the hard part.

And as mentioned above, dont ask salary. Since ur wife has only 4 years dont expect much.

there are a lot of ppl with 10+ in doha but still getting a low salary!!!

Dont be surprised this is the middle east
