Ha, depending on your kids age school fees can be like $15,000 a year in ASD. You can put another $5,000 on that for a bus.

If everything is paid for and the $50,000 is your basic salary it is still a bit low (QR15,000 monthly) but you can survive. Again, check if EVERYTHING is included (schooling, house, medical)

If the employer pays for housing and utilities and son school, it is an adequate offer.

sounds like a very good offer, but you didnt mention school fees for your son..... this can easily come to 10,000 usd per year. make sure that is included and also what about health care? The gov here provides a health care to all but alot of companies have private insurance.
