Same old question...Is this enough

Southpaw
By Southpaw

I have been offered a position as Country Manager for an international company, the offer is as follows:

Salary - QR26K pm
Housing - QR26K pm
Transport - QR2.5K pm
Signing Bonus - QR90K
Setup Allowance - QR20K
Schooling
Medical

Can you tell me if this will support my family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids)

I think you should just sign and take the signing bonus..The rest is not worth bothering about.

Which country will you manage? We have an Emir here already.

Will he be out of a job if you arrive?

I don't think he will let that happen. So as I say, just take the signing bonus.

:)

If you do come, you can stay in my villa for 26.5k?

Seriously tho... what will you be managing? I mean a Country Manager for a wine outlet will earn a different amount to a Country Manager for an international bank?

If housing is a receipted expense then QR26K for Country Manager sounds quite low ...though I think would be sufficient to support ur family of five depending offcourse again on your lifestyle and if ur looking for a decent enough savings...

Sandeep and Hannah: take a room! :)

QR26,000 per month is the salary.

Housing of QR26,000 per month is a receipted expense, I.E. if the villa costs QR26K they pay QR26K, if it costs QR10K they pay QR10K therefore it's not worth taking anywhere cheaper.

Will 2.5K per month be enough to lease a decent car?

Anyways lets ignore the b****h and move on with the topic!

Southpaw you have nothing to worry about, you'll have plenty to feed your family and save up too. Just find cheaper accommodation as now a days you can get 4 bedroom villas for 12 to 14k.
