Ramses: "Good" is a relative term. One guy may laugh at that offer while another would take it in a heartbeat. I'm curious, if you make more in Egypt and have to live without your family for a year - what exactly is the benefit in coming?

..

.not very good.

.

i think the offer is fair for a job as an account executive.

.

.maybe you should negotiate for "Bonus" for every account you deal/or close.

How's that for a straight forward answer. If you are already making more money in Egypt, why take less to come here and be without your family for a year. As I said before, Qatar is very expensive.

Just think of it very seriously.

If the offer is better than your present job, then grab it, but if not.. count the stars in the sky before you decide which is which.

i'm a spender...ok i have to save some money..but still i didn't get a straight forward answer..is it a good offer to leave my home country for?

Have you seen how expensive schools can be here? If you are making more money in Egypt then you will definitely be losing money here in Qatar. Inflation is 15% here.

Will they give education allowance? If not, this is a big problem. Check threads on the bottom right of your screen. Sample budge and Cost of Living and the Schools Database.

By the way may I know what kind of job you are applying for.

I cannot comment furthermore, but the offer is good.

i think its a bit low but still it depends on how u look at it~i think other than the salary itself, everythings seems to be ok, with the accomodation provided and car and stuff like that~

5 working days is normal~28 days leave is fine~

as for the qatari driving license, its wont be difficult for you as long as you can drive decently~just that u have to get used to the left-hand drive if you are from a right hand drive country~

cheers~
