All others should have started a new discussion, however here are my 2 cents
Tata:
(4 bedroom villa plus maid's room, large kitchen, central or split unit aircon system, built in wardrobes and kitvhen units, outside a compound)
You are welcome. Yes Rents Must be your main concerns here.
Price range from 12K to 15K/month. Yes, there is commission ..and you'll find lot of choices, thanks to EMADI :)
Nandu:
Welcome, you are asking us abt salary. hmm, i really believe its a personal issue and it varies from person to person. may be it'd be helpful for you to know minimum wages in your industry of field in order to set your financial targets above that threshold.
Normally govt/semi goverment companies provides housing allowance, transportation allowance and education allowance .. with obviously controlling your needs you can always save (otherwise what's the point). on the other hand you can spend all ur saving in one hour (by spending in Peal Apartments ;)
typically, for a 10 year lead position, you should be getting 20K+ with housing or 30K+ all incusive (again, its just my opinion, the best resource should be your own professional friends - in GCC)/.
Whatever you get, try to benchmark within your own field so as to determine if you are not being cheated, and then Thanks God and try to remain contented while focusing on balancing quality life and quality living and following your career passion. God Bless you .. cheers
Ahmad:
I think your base is OK, however I personally feel you should negotiate up to 3K more in your base. but always do so, with a RISK OF LOSING THIS OFFER as well. so its your call my friend.
overall QP rates are in line with most reputable international firms in GCC and on higher sides. may be the cash in is not so high, but fringe benefits will set your family life free from worries. What abt annual bonus, that'll cover for your extra bucks i guess.
good luck, and don't lose this offer.
Jenni:
I wish they have online webcams to show you around, but villas are quite typical here, mostly just covering the cost developed for business/commercial purpose. You can get whatever you want, but do not have any high expecatations before coming here. If you are not one of those who easily gets disappointed, you'll really enjoy your life here.
try ZigZag towers or Hyatt residency villas nearby, to amaze your senses.
you need to get international extension for your medical health insurance,
QR 37K equals to above USD10K+ (tax free)
a 4BR villa in Doha must be nice, not sure about the pool, most have one with boundary walls(gated), and RASGAS is a worldclass company, many just dream to join.
Raj586:
We don't know your position, living style and career/life/financial ambitions, but generally speaking the package you mentioned comes in higher side. you can easily survive, maintain and enjoy with decent saving hopefully. good luck and welcome to doha
Pauline:
18K is not bad, provided that you use it wisely. if you manage to control spend up to 50% in your accomodation and cost of living you will join the happiest ones here who have something to save and enough to spend and enjoy.
regarding your puppy ask your company, if they can hire and give him a visa too (kidding)
ask immigiration or someone having similar experience.
for your boyfriend, I am sure he can not come unless as a husband or employed in qatar.
