Qatar Foundation Grade 13 Expectations

By andrehabib

Dear forums readers,

This is my first post on qatarliving, though I've been reading it for about a month. I've been looking for information about Qatar Foundation salaries, but haven't found anything in specific to gradings.

I'm a single Canadian citizen with 2.5 years experience at a large multinational company working in finance operations.

I've been interviewing for a position that is Grade 13. I haven't received my offer yet but would like to know if any people with QFoundation knowledge know what kind of salary and perks this may entail. What's the basic salary like? Housing allowances? I've heard housing can be difficult in Qatar.

I've picked up favorable pieces of information about QFoundation and would like to confirm them from people who have worked with them before.

Thanks for your help, hope to be more involved in this forum.

ace.auteur, I havnt gotten an offer but I have conducted an initial interview. No confirmation on an offer, and I believe there are other candidates for this position.

I'm also not sure about the urgency but I assume it won't be much longer until I get a decision on whether I have been selected. I have been looking at QFoundation and it really looks like an interesting place to work.

first of all, have they confirmed that you will be receiving an offer? Or are you one of the many candidates they are currently interviewing for a particular position. The selection process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on the urgency of filling the position. from what I hear the pay is not as spectacular as in the O&G companies. But QF is surely an employer of choice.

elias, cheers for the info. My grandfather is originally from Lebanon, but I have never been to the Middle East before until recently. I'm hoping I'll get a chance to visit more palaces around here in the future.
