Hi,

I've just been offered a job in Doha with a monthly salary of 27000 QR plus accomodation and health care. How does that sound?

It will be just my wife and I, plus our 2 dogs.

Cheers

Your salary is too low, local managers earn up to three times your offer (and you will b the one doing the work..) What healthcare do they offer ? What type of accommodation do they offer, note that the quality of housing is very poor. Do you know that whenever you want to leave the country (even for pure private trips) your employer has to give his approval ? Make sure everything is in writing before you arrive, verbal promises are worthless.... Ya be warned.

You don't say what you do, but since there are no school fees to worry about , you should easily save 3k pounds a month. Just make sure that the accomodation provided is to your liking and allows for dogs.

plus accomodation, return airtravel annually, healthcare and 45 days leave. How does that sound?

It all depends where you come from. If you are a Westerner, it is waaaaaaaaaay too low.
