I have been offered USD 4445 per month for a job in Doha.
Do you think it is good enough for two members to have a decent life plus saving in Qatar?
Urgent response appreciated.

not bad but depends up on the position and your family.

You can atleast save half amount if you want to live normal,middle class life without kids.Try negotiating for the accom,transport with company as without these your savings will be good.

it depends on your field of work and your past experience.. your passport also has a lot to weightage..

if this is your first job and you're trying to enter the middle east market, it's a reasonable offer..

No No No. $4.5k will never give you a decent life in Doha. You will end up taking loans and borrowing just to make a living. You cannot afford a car with this salary or a decent rental apartment. Also, you can never dine out or spend on entertainment with this kind of money. Think twice....search on google more and don't make a hasty decision.

To add above:

Agents charge commission here for helping you out for accommodation...:))

Good luck..

Damn good for a starter in DOHA...

How about accommodation? Is it inclusive of your salary or a company will provide you??

Rents are quite high here if at all you have to manage on your own for living...

For 1 BHK furnished/un furnished = QR 4500-5000

For 2 BHK Furnished/unfurnished = QR 5500(5000 at a very rare case)to 8000....
