Sorry about that mate but staying away would be a very good decision in your case. Even if you negotiate, net pay could be upped to 15000 at the most. That is not worth a complete lifestyle change (when you have a wee tiny one along). I know things are tough but don't despair. Enjoy your new family, stash away as much as you can for stormier days. Just hang in there...and as they say, it's always darkest before the dawn.

Jobs in the IT sector are very hard to come by here in Q. You must also take your future career plans into consideration. In my personal opinion, look out for opportunities in Abu Dhabi. Excellent place to be and more opportunities available.
