SFA,

If it helps..Most Indian Nationals with CA/MBA get a package in the range of 25 to 30,000 QR Per Month...with about 10 Years of Banking Industry Experience...with the banks in Qatar...All these positions are in the range of Assistant Branch Manager....I am not sure what Kind of position you have....I am sure customer relations and front office positions will be worth less...

I really can't comment on other countries as I am only aware of the realestate issue in Qatar. You need to reserve a MINIMUM of 6500QAR just for rent so anything above that would be for cost of living such as telephone, food, water/electricity, transportation AND then money for savings. I would assume the bare minimum someone can work for and live independently (ie not sharing a home with several other men) would be 13 000QAR and once again this a minimum. Please remember that things are much more expensive here than in Pakistan the extra costs do add up and quickly.

go www.gulf-times.com look at their classifieds and see rental prices...they change daily. this can give you an idea of the rental rates out there

SFA from what we have seen of rents these days, your entire monthly salary may only be going to pay for rent and your food.

It's definately not worth relocating for especially if you have a comfortable job where you are.
