Thanks vivme. I do not know which type of position it is. The job title is manager, do you know what it means? All I know that it is not a term specific position and is a full time permanent position, but it may be 3 year contract as you mentioned and then renewed annually.

If it is a specialist position then how come they interviewed me and nearly selected even though I am Indian? You believe I should be asking for more than 40k as the going rate? You have experience or knowledge of IT security manager level salaries in government ministries?

Do expats also get regular positions that is housing and other allowances on top of a basic salary? I thought it was for the Qataries only.
