Hi the outsider!
At last a colleague joined me here!!! I was asking the question many times & in different times to get the maximum of information.We'd like also to know more about the company (GSCS).
Thank you.
I already sent u a private message, if u r interested...
Yes. I am from Morocco and am supposed to translate interchangeably between Arabic and English (Ar to Eng and vice versa). Transportation is most probably a sherd bus cause we gonna live all in a Company owned area. Yes my offer is from GSCS. Anything to say about it?????
Is ur offer from GSCS???
if its arabic - ok
if other languages - not enough
i would only consider this offer acceptable because accommodation is included. even so, 5k/mnth is pretty slim. when you say 'transport included' do you know if this is a car for your own use, or you get a shared bus to/from work. if its your own car, then its ok. but if its only transport to work and back, that stinks.
overall, its a pretty miserable salary for a UK grad.
Hi there!
Here's another translator who's moving to Qatar next month. I am a King Fahd School of Translation graduate. I guess we are going to work together. I was wondering the same: Is this salary enough for a fresh graduate to start up a new life there in Doha? I got two friends there and they are paid only 4000 QRs accomodation and transportation free. They are the kind of people who go out clubbing and so, and they said we can save up to 2000 QRs minimum. This is due to the fact that the most expensive things in Qatar are company provided. Go ahead man! Hope we meet there in Ramadan.
Good luck and wish you the best.

Thanks buddies for your suggestions! I will go for it, at least as an experience. Actually, the salary is the same a Moroccan university lecturer starts with!
Will be moving to Doha next month. Hope to meet all of you there!
I think it's a pretty good deal too. I'm a fresh graduate moving to Doha from the UK next month on a similar salary and benefit package. Ok, it's not an executive salary, but when you do the calculations it's the equivalent of a pretty good salary in the UK. I concluded that the disposable income i'd have from such a salary in Qatar is similar to that which I'd have in the UK with around a £20,000 salary - not bad for a new graduate. Good luck to you and I hope you go for it.
Yes it's a good one and how much you can save depends on the lifestyle you would like to live..go for it..
Not bad, at least you can have start it is a push in the right direction.
I cant really guarantee or state on how much you can save as its entirely on your spending habits & lifestyle.
Moreover, as you have Accomodation & Transport provided, you can save a good amount... Also, i personally think its a reasonable offer for a fresh graduate. You still have enough time to learn & experience to go higher in your scope.
all the best...
