The vibe here is still pretty good given the current panic that's being experienced by its neighbours such as Dubai. The Central Bank of Qatar is projecting a moderate but healthy GDP growth of 9 percent this year and I haven't personally heard of any major retrenchments or lay-offs. Part of the main reason is because unlike Dubai, Qatar actually relies on oil and natural gas as its main economic resources rather than Dubai which focuses wholly on finance and tourism.
Nevertheless it would be wrong to say that there isn't impact at all - i think the construction sector here is beginning to slow down a bit and the Qatari currency (being pegged to the US dollar) has been experiencing fluctuations too. Which industry will you be joining?
