that a good money for the single one, but not to the married one, find other option, your an engineer and apply to IMI if you can, they have good offers, minimum 7thousand riyals , and free accomodation. they give you a vacation every 6 months, take care and Godbless!

As far as a single person is concerned, he could manage to survive with this salary,

but it's not sufficient for a couple with a kid to live in Doha comfortably.

Technically adept Pinoy engrs here can command QR 25,000 monthly; since you will be in sales which has a lot of competition, you can settle for less. Bargain on sales comissions, without it - dont accept Its too low

Kabayan, the salary might not commensurate to the cost of living here and plus the fact that the salary will not allow you to bring your family here in Qatar. And although it's a free accomodation, you being a professional engineer migh tfeel bad once here (and migt start comparing your package) to others that get much higher/better remuneration.

try and wait for a much better offer, if you can afford and if you have the time and resources. Goodluck!

hi

people live in diffrant styls so diffrant ways diffrant needs

for your self yes it is good

but if u want to bring your wife and rent ahome for sure that will not be that much

ask if you have commision and things like that

try to get also the free transportaion or car provided

It is extremely low, however, you may consider if you are jobless and all other options have exhausted. Good luck

NOt even close... UNLESS your family stays in Philippines. Stay in Philippines and be with them till you find at least a 4500 offer. In that way you can at least sponsor your wife for a visit once in a while.
