Ah right, so I can't respond to people directly it seems.

So in effect, I should really be asking for QAR 25,000 + roughly QAR 10,000 for housing? That works out to about £72,000 a year.
Here in the UK, I would be laughed at for such demands. That really makes me wonder if Qatar is worth it at all then? I'll mention that when they come back to me, but it sounds like the reason Qatar is losing interest in westerners (Hislam) is that the requests seem very extravagant.
As I said I am only a mid range manager and that salary in my field is an executive salary.
Wow, eye opening...
