The Qatar government had a good plan to attract US professionals to work here and thereby bringing in experience, and young Qataris could learn. However, the problem is in execution of the plan. I wud say its quite right to pay an american 3-4 times more than paying an Indian if he indeed has worked in organizations known for excellence in their field or graduated from top US schools. Instead the HR people have recruited americans with little experience, came out of mediocre schools and worked in small organizations. I have seen many times local qataris that have graduated from good US institutions to be lot beter than americans that have been hired.
