Hi guys - thanks for all your responses. I won't disclose what or where the job is as it is really immaterial. I was just trying to get a feel of whether the salary was appropriate using other posts with a similar salary as a guide. Personally, I think the salary is pretty amazing and from what I can gather the benefits are equally amazing. Needless to say, i would be delighted if I was offered the position, not only for the salary but for what the job is and how I could help Qatari's and the region.

Would you all agree with the following breakdown of costs:

7000 2/3 bedroom flat
2000 bills E/W/T/NET
2500 CAR
5000 - 10000 Monthly running cost

I'm not one for going out and living like a rockstar - prefer to put in a good days work, go home to a nice flat/house and chillout. May go out at the weekend for a meal or a few drinks with friends.
