Hello All,

Design Build Airport Communication Systems. Recieved offer 35% over base salary US dollars but wanted to see what you guys think about some of the other details.

Housing
28K Qr.mo
(Married no kids, upscale condo is the goal but I would guess that those usually range 15-18k, Thinking Pearl but have no idea as to numbers)
Transportation
3K Qr. mo (This seems a bit low, dont know what kind of longer term rental rates are for car comparable to BMW3/5 series type coupes. Do these exist?? What would you drive in the 3-5K Qr mo range?)

Have I lost my mind or has HR lost thiers???)

(PS, thank you in advance for information along these lines)

So who cares if they've lost their minds - take it! We get about the same car allowance and figure it's about $700/mo. That takes care of payments anyway. But you need to think about an SUV. There's this crazy thing on the road here about bigness and bullying and whatnot. I'd never drive one in the US, but here I am doing it in Qatar. But isn't that the fun of being an expat? New places, new people, new experiences. Welcome!
