Need Salary Advice. (Mechanical Engineer)
Hye folks~
I've just been invited for a site interview by QP.
Its a Grade 14, Mechanical (Integrity/Inspection) Engineering, location Messaieed, indefinite terms.
I'm Malaysian with 5+ years of xperience in Oil n Gas; holds few API certificates (510, 570) at hand
Here's the offer:
-Basic 15k-17k QR
-Housing 14.2k QR
-Transport Allowance 2k + TASS
-Furniture 55k
-Car loan 5x salary
-Other standards : education, medical
My questins...
1) How much can I possibly save monthly (married with one kid)?
2) If changed to single status (famly not coming),how much will change?
3) Is the basic ok? As far as I know, API holders under contract basis usually got about 500 USD/day.
Any advice and thought is very much appreciated~!! :)
Thanks in advance.
thanks guys for the advices...
still haven't made up my mind...
will try to negotiate the basic some more...hehe

Good for you Kedah Boy. the indian mech. engineer in my company is getting 14,500QR with room accomodation only. no car bec. he's only in the office. his family not here also. his on vacation now. his 1st year.
If you'd like to get more, go for contract basis. But I assume you know the trade-offs
Yanni! My HR should read this...
With regards to your Q3 - I think the package is pretty good but I qualify my statement - I'm no engineer. But generally, I heard that if you're here with family, you should have a basic of no less than QR30k per month (exclusive of your other benefits esp. accommodation) because the cost of living is VERY high here, as compared to Malaysia.
And since you said that API holders under contract basis get about USD500 per day...
