Hi all, a friend of mine from Pakistan recently interviewed for a job in Qatar Foundation for their IT department. He got around 10 years experience in the areas of animation, simulation, 3D computer designing etc. He told me the interview went really well and he thinks there is good chance of QF offering the job to him.
He wants to know what salary range should he be expecting for a person in IT field for 10 years experience to see if the offer is really good or just good. As I dont have any experience in his area, can someone please give me an idea of how much salary can he expect in QF (just a guess in the ball-park range)? Is it negotiable? Also, QF interviewer told him that QF also offers accomodation and car, he asked me is it possible to get allowance paid in cash instead of getting accomodation and car. If agreed, he'll come here with a wife and 2 year old boy.
Can people working in QF or closely know of QF salary ranges, please answer ASAP.
Cheers

according to his experience and especially in Animation..it would be + 20k with all the facilities they offered, if he is earning enough in Pakistan if not then he can join on below 20k too that would be totally depend on him...i think he can ask for allowence instead the car and accomodation but that would be upon QF...

Might have serious problems getting a visa due to being a Pakistani. I would ask about that first.
