Lebanese relocating to Qatar

TheEinstein
By TheEinstein

I am project manager relocating to Qatar for new Job.
What should I ask as basic salary?
What should I expect as expenses? (House allowance, food, going out…)
Is there anything we should be aware off before going there?
I appreciate any help.
Thanks All

25,000 QR basic, plus housing, transport allowance and education at the American school. (not cheap)

Arabic resturant, anything from 50 QR per person to 400 QR. American resturants here suck...

I have a 6 years’ experience that is divided between Congo Africa, France, Lebanon and KSA.

I am in the field of software engineering and consulting.

Other questions:

Average meal cost in a good Arabic or American restaurant?

Car loan cost and gas per month?

What entertainment is there and what is the average cost?

Thanks again.

Depends on your experience and the company you are working, 25-30K would be an average bet.

Don't forget to bring your pointy shoes. Since the Poppadom riots of 2008 there has been severe shortage.

As for the PM role, what industry is it in?
