Average Salary for Assistant Manager

Average Salary for Assistant Manager of Marketing and Operations

Got an interesting job offer today.

4,500 Riyals per month.

6 days. 8hours/day.

2,500 QR for housing.

I would have to pay utilities of about 250QR per month.

2 year contract.

Though I don't think it should matter (and it saddens me that it does) I am an American Male. 6 years exp. 25 Yrs old. B.A. from the University of California.

This exact same position for the same company in America makes 12,500QR/month working 8 less hours per week.

I told them I was interested but not at that pay. It comes out to $6.50/hour. Which is 2 dollars per hour lower than the American Minimum wage. I could make twice this salary bagging food at the grocery store in America.

My question is: What is a reasonable wage for this position?

regarding the other subject which is not related to the topic on the users has commented... yes indians and Philippines doesnt have the capabilities that others has why ? one of the reasons and I think is the most important one when they f4ck on their capabilities and they dont trust themselves by working for companies with very low salary which we pay it half of accommodation. now wheres your capabilities when you work for 3,000/-QR per month? 4000 or 5000 ( which is the maximum ) ? depending on your nationality ? your back home is not expensive as others ? but at the end of the day in order to get this salary you need to live in abroad which is more expensive than your back home right? so with 4000 what you will do ? housing,transportations, foods, and many other stuff does your salary cover all of that ? sure not.

You should be making atleast QAR 20,000 to live comfortably here in Doha. If you get this or more then move here, otherwise you are better off in California!

The budget to hire an Assistant Manager for that Company will not be more than what they offered to you (irrespective of your Nationality). It will be better for you to look for a job in another Company.

World's second largest population and occupying only one seventh of the world map. So difficult for all Indians to stay in India.

Hope you get some clarity

Please don't misconstrue my comments. I wish everyone could have a north american salary! but employers here tend to base the salary on nationality, not on capability. So maybe the employer thought the applicant was not north american. If someone from the West wants a similar lifestyle here as compared to at home, they need a really good salary, way beyond what was offered.

Hello Postmodernman...

Dont think you people are superior.I am an Indian...a proud INDIAN.Salary depends on candidate quality.Do you think even a high school drop out from US will get above 15K salary for any post? dont try to inject hatred between people.Your statement and your name doesnt match.

Mr postmodernman,

I am a Filipino and what do you think of us? low class citizen?

Do you think that we asians ca't do what you American or European do and chieved. We are not "someone" you prejudist man.

you would have not be able to save anything. If you want a North American style life, you need to have 15-20,000 QR per month, plus 15K or more for housing, plus utilities, plus medical, plus a trip home per year, plus, plus.

that would be a salary they would offer to someone from India / Philipines part of the world.

not worth accepting.

dont even think about it. you are young but still you need at least even if single 12-14k + housing and all the other goodies. Ask for the working trading hours many companies state 6 x 8 hours but trading is 12 hours and everyone works 12 h without overtime pay

It should be double. That salary package is peanuts here in this place. Everything is expensive.
