Hello guys,

Need your advice for the following job offer: ($7000 Basic salary + $1600 Houssing Allowance + $400 car allowance)

is this a good start for a family with 3 kids (school for 2) ... can we live a decent life in a nice house or it 'll be just another place where we can barely survive?

 

Thanks in advance

basic salary is ok but the housing allowance, nah! you still have to get a slice of your basic salary to get a nice flat here.

schooling. Depends on the school and age but primary UK schools are around Qrs.7,800 a term give or take.

Their are other charges including registration, a deposit (doha college) and a capital charge (doha college).

 

Got to www.dohacollege.com to obtain details on school fees. Other options include

 

Doha English Speaking School (DESS)

Qatar Academy

Parkhouse

 

Tought to get school places at times, so move quick.

Car leasing is note an issue here. Long term leasing is available.

Let your salary be converted into Qatar Riyal for you to be able to live in Qatar...  

 

 

Life's like that but still can't give it up

i think housing allowance is too low...1600dollars is only about 6-7000 riyals...you might not even find decent apartment (ithink)
