gud day!

i just like to ask if i can live a normal life in qatar with this packages? i was hired at drake & scull int. qatar company here in the philippines, my visa is already here, im just waiting for my ticket then im set to go.... the company just offered me 1400QR basic salary with accomodation,transportation...etc.. as a data encoder, well only because i only have 1 1/2yrs experience as they say....

i have a sister working in qatar airways as a reservation officer, and ive already been there 2yrs ago as a tourist, i really wanted to go back and work,but im afraid that my salary will not be suitable for me to live there... what do you think?tnx

mga kababayan help nman...tnx

A normal life in Qatar on $380/month? Are you serious?

You're better off getting a job without allowances for 4,000-5,000/month. Then get a bedspace for 600/month and transportation for 400/month. This leaves you with 3,000-4,000 mnth

is that plus overtime as additional? kung ang 1400 is basic pwedeng pagtiyagaan basta plus plus plus lahat iyong makukuha mo (transport/accomm/meal)

salary amount per se is low. So if you're earning in the philippines 20T per month, stay there. but if you want to take chance of working abroad and you feel it there's a better opportunity here then grab it...
