HELP ON MOVING TO QATAR WITH KAHRAMAA

Hi everybody,

I currently live and work in Dubai and have about 11 years audit experience. Soon I'll be receiving an offer from Kahramaa for a Senior Audit position and have several questions in mind for which I would like to receive your feedback.

First of all, do you know what is the salary range in Kahramaa for a senior Audit position? What kind of benefits do they usually offer?

Second, I would like to know how good Kahramaa is as employer. Is it a serious company? how does Kahramaa treat its employees?

Third, I heard that some companies take even the passport of their employees. Is it this normal? Does Kahramaa do that?

Fourth, do you think that working for Kahramaa is good for CV, considering that I would like to move back to Canada after some years?

Fifth, I have a family (wife + 3 children) and am really afraid of making a mistake in moving to Doha because I do not know how life is over there. Is Doha family friendly? How good schools are (especially private english ones)and the hospitals? Are there activities for Kids in Doha?

I know that I am asking you many questions, but really, I am feeling alone in the world to take this hard decision of moving or not to Qatar. It would be then GREAT if you can help me with your comments.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL OF YOU!

Hello friend

I am also new to Qatar and I know how you feel when you say your alone in your decision. But be happy that you have managed to find a job with KAHRAMA. They are like the Hydro One/ Embrdige of Canada. It is a big company and believe me when i say this, They are water and electricity. There is no other company in Qatar that provides these utilities. I have also applied for position in this company and wait for their response. Can you tell me how long it took them to reply to you? Taking a passport from your employee is frowned upon but it does happen. Kahramaa will not do this to you, these acclaims happen in smaller service companies where the meanie employer wants to gain a 1up over his employee to trap him to work for him, so he takes the passport.
