Check out the clubs before joining - but you will have time as their waiting lists are quite long. Cannot recommend the Diplomatic club. It is becoming very traditional in its' dress code and the food is only adequate. There are a lot better than this.

Have fun here and hope you are ready for the heat...

Your package is ok.

I hope you get an accom allowance within the range of 16k-18k QR, being an Ops Dir.

And the car has got to be an SUV.

Like what our Proj Dir is getting right now ( but surely, his salary is more than 28K)

GOodluck!

Welcome to QL. Just ignore Sputnik, he has a "thing" about packages.

Welcome to Doha! Salary is very nice. Hopefully, your company is giving you a villa/apt. and not just a set amount in cash because rents go up and down, no wait...just up, all the time. :)

Azi i just inquired abt his compensation package.... I want to knw his background and years of experience thats all...

But the pay scale is too much.... Well beyond expected and may not be linked to performance....as usual

Wait till he sets his foot in Qatar before you dissect him and his compensation package.

Don't mind him, Alan. Sputnik's really a good guy, just kind of agitated most of the times...
