I understand life is different to London but as a Muslim myself the drink and nightlife won't be missed!
My main issue is the accommodation. I currently don't pay any rent as I live with parents in London. If the accommodation allowance of 6,500 isn't enough I will end up losing money making the move compared to my current situation.
Additionally the transport allowance is 500. From what I read car rentals are at least 1500 a month so this won't cover that.
I am not fussy about accommodation as long as I am not hours away from the office and have a nice furnished place.
Ideally I want the move to be financially worth it so that I save more than I do in the UK (I guess I save around 1300-1400 GBP a month at the moment which will be 7-8000 QAR).
Will my package cover my needs or should I be pushing for more?
As an alternative, I may have the option of a 2 year secondment with my current firm to Kuwait (with some time possibily in Saudi). The salary will probably be at a similar level or even a little higher but I haven't been told of the other possible benefits such as accommodation so it is difficult for me to compare the offers at the moment.
