How much salary is required for a decent living in Doha
I am looking at a job oppurtunity in doha which is offering US dollars 5500 per month. Is it sufficient to make a decent living (paying for rent, education of kid and house hold expenses etc) out of it for a family of 3. I have come to know that cost of accodomation and education are costly in Qatar. What are the other factor i need to know and consider for relocating to Qatar.
my hubby salery is same and we are living levishly twobedroom rent is 7000 to 8000 qr now a days.and electricity and water bill is near about 400 and eatables for a mnth near about 1000 to 1500 qr
It depend on your life style but this is 20K plus , which is a reasonable salary and you are just starting your career here.
true 5500us$ is good for employer providing accomodation and car if not then u should ask for 8000us$ not less....
good schools are expensive
Decent living and indecent living..can you clarify this a bit? May be we can figure out after all what's a decent living? Just kidding!
It all depends on your life style brother. Personally speaking I would consider 18K is decent salary for 3 to have a comfortable life here in Doha. But don't expect you will be saving anything big out of it.
Considering the factor that your salary will increase with every year and with your promotion, gragually you will endup with good time...
All the very best for your future and welcome to Qatar. I wish your stay will be as pleasent as its been with me so far.
$5500 is good if your employer provides accomodation. You can check school fees online (American School of Doha, Qatar Academy, Qatar International School, Al-Jazeera Academy, Doha College) to figure it out.
Good luck
