Will 8000QAR per month enough?
I work in the UK on a salary of 17,000GBP after tax. I have a feeling my company will be offering me a comparable salary to work in Qatar.
This does not include any benefits, so i will have to pay for accomadation etc. I am a British citizen, 23 and single so i do not need anything too lavish.
What do you fine citizens of QL think?
if its per/year then its alright!but monthly Noway ..
its too low for any british national
"We cannot change the past, we only learnt from it"
Are you talking about ur yearly salary 17000GBP?
sorry but 23 years old , 17000GBP AFTER TAX in UK ! doesnt make sense to me ! saty there dude ..
U will not be having much penny left after bearing accomodation and vechile on urself..
Just to give you a brief idea about living costs in Qatar, take a good look at these facts:
1- Rent of a 1 bedroom apartment in a mid-class area is from 3,500 up to 4,500 QAR per month. Sharing an apartment with someone else may save you around 1,000-1,500 QAR per month.
2- Renting a small car (1500 cc) is around 1,500-1,700 QAR per month.
3- Food costs for a single per month are around 800-1,500 QAR depending on what you eat and drink. The previous number increments if you drink alcohol.
4- Going out on weekends costs around 200-300 QAR depending on what you do (that's about 800-900 QAR per month).
5- Water and electricity bills are around 300 QAR per month. Any extra services like mobile and internet are at about 250 QAR each (that's another 500 QAR per month).
Need I continue...?! I don't think so.

Obstacles are what you see when you set your eyes off the goal.
Are you sure its QR.8000? A decent single bed apartment cost 4000 to 5000..whats left?
for a car you will have to pay 2000 per month..
so its too less...
No way near enough if you have to pay your own accomodation. check QL classifieds to get an idea of the going rate for apartments. EVERYTHING here is more expensive, except for petrol. You need to be making a good deal more than you were in the UK.
Damn, Thats Less Pay...pls try to bargain else find a diff company...
17,000 GBP = 95,818 QAR. why do you want to go for a lesser salary. BTW, 8000 QAR wont be enough for your accommodation.
