Sounds good! Yes, Sidra will be a fun place to get started. Qatar requires certain degree certification for certain professions - equivalencies don't count - but I'm sure your interviewers know that. I would say don't go too overboard with your salary demand, as I mentioned, they know what you are making now. QF doesn't respond terribly well to being "high-balled." They believe, rightly or wrongly, that there are a lot of potential candidates for each job. But do make sure you include all your benefits as part of your negotiation. And that you are making comfortably over what you make in the US. It's a long way home if one of your parents gets sick! And Doha is hellaciously expensive. That's why you want to get all your living expenses covered outside your salary. Don't forget, you will still owe taxes on part of your salary. You can ask them to "gross up" your salary in over to cover these. And yes, QF does this in some cases.
