Hi Brissyboy,

I have recently been offered a contract similar to yours ...

I am from the UK but I am currently employed in Riyadh - Saudi. I'll be coming to Doha with my wife and 2 young kids.

My deal is a Grade 14 Indefinte Contract.
Salary = 18500 including uplifts
Transport = 1000
Accomodation = 10800
School Fees for the kids
Family medical and dental cover.

This deal is about the same as what I am currently getting in Riyadh, but is it a good deal for Doha?

Like you, my major concern is being able to find suitable accomodation for a family of 4 within a budget of 11K. From what I have read on this site over the past few months this looks pretty unlikely.

So I am quite hesitant to come into a situation where I will need to spend out of the basic salary to cover the rent.

Cheers

AA
