how is the working and living conditions?
hi i'm a senior salesman selected for landmark group and will be moving to qatar in next month. I need to the conditions of living as they offer me accomadation but not food, i also need an idea of the food expenses and cost opf living. My salary is very as compared to all of you its just 1600QR so plz help me out to know the ionformation what i have asked for, thanking you all in advance.
i must say this that i'm getting free accomadation and transportation ok and accomadation is shared by 4 employees where we'll have all the facilities like washing machine tv kitchen but not vessels and things is it manageable?
oh my god its so scary i don't know about the overtime and incentives i just know that i'd get in sale times but its not guaranteed rt? i'm worried now really worried
For food QR 400/- I would say is not enough.
Not enough at all.
Most young people like to eat well and I would say, it you want to eat normally and without feeling hungry between meals, budget at least 1000 QR per month for food.
Mobile and other things like those might cost another 400 QR- so I would say that most of your money would be spent in Qatar itself with nothing to spare for yourself or your family.
Life is very difficult here beastsap.
But how much money do you expect to make through overtime and extras?

thanks for ur words of support aunt polly, but just give me an advice about the food and other expenses coz this is what i am most worried about and definetly i have to save money atleast for a yr coz my marriage is ahead its a love marriage u know its always a difficult choice
If that is so, then by all means do take up the job.
And remember that any thing bad you meet will pass away after some time- so try and be the best salesman ever- so people above you in hierarchy will themselves put in a good word for you, when you need it.
Good luck.

thats rt aunt polly but things r not in my favour these days, struggling very hard to find good companies in my resume....i really don't know what to do? dad says its a good co though as he was in kuwait for 13 yrs and knows the co very well, but the question is survival
but then i'll be having incentives overtime and all so what do u all think
This amount is not enough for decent survival in Qatar.
If you do take up this job, you will end up being one very dissatisfied salesman, who will not be able to do his job well or satisfy his customers.
My advice would be for you to wait till you get a better offer before you take up this one.
If you are really desperate for a job in Qatar, be prepared for some very hard times as things are very expensive here and it is difficult to keep a happy facade when you see people spending this much money or more for an hour's shopping.

Do groceries,,,, shopping n cook at home will save a lot money,,, u can cook which will be good for u for 1day(breakfast, lunch, dinner)
but if u will eat outside probably u will spend more,,,

Kummar earns QAR 2.000 + overtime, and he can afford to look for a white English or American bride. What he can, you can do, too.

Honestly it will be very tough for you. Yes we all have to struggle initially in our careers but sometimes that struggle is not worth it. I hope you make a correct decision for your career..

It's not enough if you are going to eat outside. It is cheaper to cook your own food.
i'm good enough to get more but if i look at me future then i guess i need to struggle now rt?
transportation is provided from the co, its a fully furnished room for 4 employees, cooking facility is also available. but how much does it cost if have to eat outside coz the HR told me that it'll costs just 400qr for food, is it true?
I guess, it's not good enough thought...
ask for more... if u know u deserve it...

How are you going to travel to and from work ? Will you have cooking fcailities at your residence ?
yes i need this job very badly coz of my financial status and for my career, i wish i could earn more but this is what they are offering. they say that for food 400qr/month is enough and another 250 for own exp like mobile calling cards to india and all, is this true? will this really work out?
Qatar is an expensive place, so I would be very wary. However, you need to look at your own circumstances and how "badly' you need this job.
