Hello ,

I have been offered a job of an Oracle Database Administrator with the following package :

Basic Salary : 6000 QR
Accomodation provided by company ( sharing accomodation )
Allowances : car allowance 720 QR
accomodation allowance of 1000 QR in case i do not opt for company provided accomodation.

I would like to know , how good is this package considering the fact that I have 3 yrs of experience and an OCA certification.

My discussion with a few people out there suggests that the monthly expenditure is in tunes with 2000 QR ( on fooding etc ) . Can you please let me know , how feasible are these numbers ?

Moreover , in the current economic meltdown , please let me know how good this offer is ?

Thanks.

If this is your first entry to gulf...... well this is not a bad offer. any way if u r affered 3000QR. for housing allowance also, it is better to opt for company accomodation by leaving the allowance, bcos rent is very high

Yes.. that is the value of Indian passport here... it is spoilt by your own people.... but let me tell you life in Doha is very expensive.... house rent alone can be QR 30-35K which is 6 times your salary.... I advice you.. please read more about Qatar, ask people who has worked and lived here (recently...) read specially about 'Sponsor Rule'... before you head for Doha..... Best of Luck...

Rents are high in Doha, but company is providing u accommodation that’s a plus point. Check in detail at QL u will find some detail about monthly expenditures, but roughly 2000QR will be ok for a single...

Don’t take housing allowance you cannot find a place for QR.1000/- it looks okay for someone with few yrs of experience...don’t think you will get a better offer considering the current job market situation.

Is it better than what you have? Will it advance your career? Do you adapt well to different cultures and circumstances? If yes, then come to Doha!
