For a while, I thought I posted again under a different name:
"Hi all,
Before anything else, gotta apologise for all these perennial questions on the forum - but like a few others, I've also been offered a job by Qatar Airways during their global recruitment drive here in Singapore.
I'm single and am really excited about the prospect of working overseas for the first time in my life. But beyond my excitement, I'm just wondering if you guys think the package they're offering me is worth it. If I can make ends meet on my own in Doha.
This is what they're giving me per month:
- Basic of QR7500 (though I'm planning to see if I can negotiate it up to QR8000)
- Housing allowance QR2500 or the company accomodation
- Transport allowance of $600
I've been in the airline industry for 10 years in Singapore and am only drawing an approximate salary of S$1800 (whereas it's almost S$3000 in Qatar) at the moment. It may seem like a lot of difference - but I do realise I've got to take into consideration other personal expenses that I've been taking for granted back home in Singapore.
Would really like your opinion on whether this is a reasonable offer? Thanks in advance for any help! ;-)"
... Sorry I may be anal but I really don't appreciate such full copying and pasting wholesale ...
