Italians in Doha

sorry , italian like looking, but do Italians have good courage, OMG, i don't have, my black and bald BIL scares me, he looks like an animal

he looks really funny

Lorenteggio, se ti capita anche solo di venire qui qualche gg giusto per farti un idea di cosa sia vivere in Qatar (io ci sto da + di 1 anno) mandami un msg in privato e ci mettiamo in comunicazione.

Saluti

Mauro

PS: e' un OTTIMO salario se hai full expact benefits!!!

Thank for the comment; as far as I've seen cost of living is higher here in Europe than in Qatar thanks to the strong EUR

Ciao Lorenteggio

i'm not in finance so couldn'tcomment how that offer compares with the local rate, but I would say that you have to judge how much better of you'll be than at home. Cost of living is definitely higher than in italy, but depends a lot if you have accomodation included. you're going to pay at least QAR14,000 per month for somewhere OK to live. If it's only a little above average salary at home then I'd say it isn't going to make you a lot better off, but this depends on your tax situation. Not sure how the italian tax works, but no tax payable here. You have to bear in mind that while Qatar is very safe and you can buy most things here (prosciuto excepted!), it's not the most comfortable or exciting place to live. so you'll end up spending a lot on flights and holidays to stay sane. Good luck FG

There is a thriving community....with a very active embassy.

But why do you Italian guys keep switching-off the Aircon and opening the windows?...lol

Not yet decided, we will see

We are both new to the forum so it is Ok. We will learn from each other. Welcome to Qatar in advance and I am sure you will have a pleasant time.

First of all I apology but it wasn't my intention to hurt anybody. I've read several discussion regarding cost of living in this forum and I had an idea but it was impossible to know if the offer was fair or not. Consider also that here in Europe 120.000$ (which translates into 83.000 EUR) is a slightly above average salary (after deducting personal income taxes)

Lorenteggio, it is alright. You are not the first person to do so. But its just the way people could ask. Maybe something like, how much would suffice for a good life in Qatar. People on Qatarliving vary in status and the salaries vary as well. People earn QR2000 to QR 150000 a month. So, it might hurt people to know that others are making what they would save in 350 years.

Just my opinion.

I wish you a happy stay in Qatar once you arrive.

need to mention the salary becasue it's difficult to judge the cost of living when you are far away

If its one of the national banks, the offer would be less than that of some of the multinational financial institutions... 'some'... not all...

I know a bunch of guys in one of the Multinational Banks in treasury who make more than that and this was two years ago... Having said that, I am no expert on finance... All I know is that these were guys with about 10 to 15 years work ex like Lorenteggio...

I've noticed a lot of people mentioning their salary on Qatarliving.

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

I see, do you have a full expat package ?

My CEO earns hell no. of times than HIM. He is also not a treasury analyst right?.

What if you are in a bigger position than him ? :)

Well to most people out here, it seems an EXCELLENT offer, but i'm not sure if it is with benefits or excludes benefits.

"Everything is okay in the end, if it's not ok, then it's not the end."

"When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us."

I make more than that and I am not a Treasury Specialist :-)) ROFL!!!!

Thanks, can you please elaborate more on that ?

YOU serious? :#

35,000 QAR p/m for a treasury specialist, Yes it is a good offer.

that's not a fair offer for a Treasury Specialist...

Treasury Specialist

Whats YOUR position? I mean job prof?

Thanks, I've already look there and unfortunately there isn't an italian one. I mentioned the salary just to understand if it's reasonable or not
