Should I accept this offer
By waqas jafri •
I am a Project Design Engineer in HVAC from Pakistan having an experience of 4 years. I am being offered a gross salary of 8000 QR by a MEP Contracting Company.
I am still negotiating my terms @10K QR.
Need advise from the experienced lot ??
What about family visa in Qatar ? How can bring my wife to Qatar ?
Would really appreciate some great advise.
Thanks all of you, the package includes accommodation by the Contractor and pick and drop facility from your house to the site. The timings are from 0600-1800 and six days a week.
What are the charges for processing my wife's visa ?
If you get the Accomodation Allowance or Comnpany Provided accomodation and the medical coverage ,then even 8000 Qatari Riyal is also ok but 10000 Qatari Riyal will be fair enough for a person with 04 years experience only.It also depends on your family size like for a small family with a kid or no kid even you can survive in One bedroom + 01 Sitting room also which may be aorund 4000 Qatari Riyals fully furnished but for a bigger family it will be very difficult for you to stay on your own as you will need to get a bigger house.
Arranging the family visa is not a big problem as long as you have salary more than 7000 Qatari Riyals.Best of Luck
i believe it is bit low.. u didn't mention of any other allowances or compensation agreed with the company. 10k is minimum bargain
Firstly I take it this is 8000 per month? If so then NO don't accept unless the contractor provides you with housing at the VERY LEAST. Rent in Doha is very expensive. The average rent for a 2 bedroom apartment in doha with furniture is at least 6000 QR a month.
As for family Visa's I don't know enough to give you accurate information. But if you have Children who are at school then you would also want the contractor to pay tutition fees as school fees are expensive as well.
Family visa is not a problem. Once you come in and complete your residency formalities, you can process your wife's visa.
I would think 9-10K is reasonable as a basic salary for 4 years of experience. However, I do think you need to be paid additional allowances for accommodation, transport etc. Also make sure your annual flights and medical insurance are covered.
All the best.
