Should I or Should I Not?
By Ansels Adam •
I have a job offer for a Senior Electrical Engineer from a government agency in Doha, Qatar. I will need this forum's precious advice whether to accept the offer or not. I have 16+ years experience in building design and construction sector. Below is a summary of the offer:
Basic - QAR 13.2K per month
Transport - QAR 600.00 per month
Water/Electricity - QAR 450.00 per month
Accommodation - Provided by Employer
Furniture Allowance - Provi
Work - 5days/wk, 8hrs/day, with overtime
Much appreciated.
Never ever discuss the details of your offer on a public forum.... I know someone who lost job offer because the employer accidentally found it on Qatar Living
go for it.
Good package... go for it. All the best.
Accept it...
Best of luck for your New Job
You're a lucky man kabayan. The package is good considering the free luxury accomodation. Plus other allowances. If it's a government agency then your initial contract would be for 5 years. Isn't it? Government work timings is only for 7 hours,5 days a week. If it's 8 hrs. work then you have 1 hr. regular overtime. With your salary you can easily bring your family here. But your wife should also find a job. Cost of living here is way up up to the sky compared to Manila. Most of the prime commodities are imported. Labor services like car repair and spareparts etc. is above normal. You must be a wise spender to save a good percentage of your net salary. Good luck.
go for it!
Because I get Luxury accom but have to pay my own bills. You are VERY lucky!
Thanks...
i was told it is a luxury accommodation but kept thinking why they provide water/electricity allowances separately if it's free accommodation. i agree with the transport allowance too.
uhmmm..check what kind of accomodation you'll have... sharing / villa or flat?
you transportation allowance is so low...for a senior guy like you, it should at least be 1500..
i do agree with it. it's actually good offer to start in qatar. especially that the accommodation ( greatest part of your expense) is almost free. so i believe your still a lucky man with that offer
Yup...Go for it.
Yes accept it
Inshallah good offer
