Thanks for replying back guys. Like chicago_dan say i think 35k is just a bit too much to ask right now :-) these UK based companies are a little tight if you know what i mean.

chicago_dan, the answer to you questions are:

1) It is an advancement to my career. This is the last step on the ladder of being technical in IT. After this the only progression chances are to be on the managerial roles.

2) Will definitely be making more money in Doha but that is not important because by the end of the day it gets all neutral with the cost of living etc.

3) Saving will be a bit more than UK for sure. Not much but yeah just a couple of hundred pounds more.

As far as housing and transportation are concerned, spoken to my manager and he said that they used to give out separate allowances for each category but now they give away one big lump of allowance and you can use it how ever one wishes to.

I guess (like i said in my original post) i will have to wait and see what the offer letter says and come back in a day or two and post a bit more information on what is provided so you guys can let me know if it still is a good offer. More comments would really be appreciated.
