Semey
By Semey

Hi Guys! I have 10 years of experience. I am from the third world country. I've got an offer from a big Oil and Gas Operator in Doha:


basic - 19 000 QAR


house allowance - 11 000 QAR


Car allowance - 2100 QAR


ADSL - 400 QAR


Insurance only for me


(total 32500 QAR)


married with one small child.


I did not like the offer and asked to revise basic salary from 19k to 25 000 QAR. What do you think?

But I am still negotiating. Offered basic is 19 000 QAR. I asked to reconsider it up to 25500 QAR. Waiting for HRs feedback. Let's see what will happens

Semey, take this job urgently before they offer it to someone else. It's a very good offer. A lot of people here would give their arm for this package.

I am not an expert but if you intend to move your family here you should enquire about education allowance as well.  Education in Qatar is pretty expensive.  Good luck.

for starters, it is a good package and i believe you should take up the offer. You should negotiate on the part where the company provide insurance for the entire family. No logic in them providing insurance just for you.Second, do negotiate the car allowance coz if you plan to rent a car, a good vehicle, say a honda civic would cost you qrs. 2500. a 4WD would cost you much more.Third, do check where your working base is going to be. Is it in Al Khor? If yes, it is a nice location along with a community where your family will feel at home. I stated Al Khor coz most of the leading big petroleum companies are in the Al Khor side.All the best. Cheerios

Ask for 13,000 housing and also a list of schools they will pay for when your child becomes school age (or allowance of 45,000 for schools if you agree to stay that long).  And ensure it is a negotiable contract year so you have time to review after you have lived here for a while? Congratulations!

if the offer is at least 30% more from your present salary it will me enough for your family. considering the inflation rate of your country. A yearly salary increase would also be a benefit.

Grab it before too long, especially if your child is still not going to schoolTry to get company-paid housing only.Good luck
