Like many others i am posting this redundent question. I am interested in moving to Qatar from US. I am a Canadian but mostly worked in US currently as an IT Manager in a Financial Company. I have a Masters in Comp. Science. I am trying to find out the expected Basic Salary range offered currently in Oil & Gas and Aviation Industry ( Qatar Airways).

- What are the better reputed companies in Oil & Gas industry in Qatar?

- Is Qatar Airways is good company to work with in general ?

Any advice/opinion is appriciated.

Thanks,

Always prefer O&G to Aviation...I reckon you may expect a basic of around 40K+Hosuing++++++++cus, u are canadian..yet the years of professional experience in the relevent industry do count as well

well every one hears that Qatar is a gold mine. hence they feel they can also come and take a share of that gold. Little do they know about reality....

Again, I must start out answering your questions with a question - why? Why come to Doha? The days of the streets being paved with gold for the expat are long since over, except for a very few who are recruited for a specific job with a very specific and rare set of skills and experience. That DOES pay well, no doubt about it. But why would anyone else want to give up a comfortable and stable job and life to come to a country where you will never be at home, can be fired at will and have about the same lifestyle? Also, in IT you are competing with hundreds of thousands of people from Asian countries who will underbid you for the same job. Don't get me wrong, I love the Gulf. I've been in the Gulf since 2001. But if you are taking a pay cut or status cut I'd have to find out why. Your speaking of the salary range does not suggest to me that you are coming in order to share, say, Sheikha Moza's vision for education or women.

First off all as you are a Canadian,,and you have working experience in USA you can get better opportunity in Qatar also with highest paid.

But the Qatar Airways as i heard having less job security due to tight rules and regulation been working.

For the Oil and Gas industry, Qatar is the one of largest oil and gas producer in the world. So Qatar representative all major gas and oil companies from any where.

You can google "Pearl GTL" also shell gas qatar, Qatar Petrolium, Total, Exxon Mobil Qatar and Etc.

Also try "Qatar Foundation".

Best of Luck..

Thanks,
