Salary Advise
I've just got an offer as a section head in finance dept in a MNC at Doha, Qatar. Its a permanent position.
I'm a Malaysian with total of 18+ years of experience and become a qualified accountant in 2007.
Here's the offer:
-Basic 17.2k QR
-Housing 12.8k QR
-Transport Allowance 1.5k
-Furniture grant 24k
-Car loan 5x salary
-Other standards : education (15k QR), medical, performance bonus and free air ticket once a year
My concern
1) How much can I possibly save monthly (married with 2 kids)
2) Is this a good deal?
Any advice and thought is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the advise singqat. I will be staring my work on Apr 09. I will bring my family later i.e. after I settle down, rent an apartment, found good schools etc.
Go take the job...where can you get 17.2k ? In Malaysia, you must be an MD in a big co. to get 17.2k.
If you do your sums right, you can save a lot of money.
There are a lot of people who are on much lower pay and can save. For example, admin staff gets about 1.8k and you are on 17.2k
Spare a thought for these poor folks.
So go grab that job. The crisis is in Malaysia now..except the govt is in a denial mood.
salamz "abang"...
there's a previous discussion regarding estimated living cost...its about minimum 12k++ (8k aprtmt, 1.5k car, misc) for a small family living in a 2 room apartment..
as for the basic pay, IMHO, its still quite low...maybe at least 3 or 4 times is acceptable...hopefully you can negotiate some more...
anyway, its up to u...all the best~!! ;)
p/s: i havent made up my mind either...hehe

I don't really know how much i going to spend on accomodation, groceries, transportation etc before i can tell you how much I can save.
On the basic salary, I'm getting double from what I'm earning here.
are u sure its more than what u get currently? 18+ years of experience for me...is very very experienced :)
can u tell how many times roughly u'll be able to save compared to your current monthly or annual saving?

Thanks for reply. My concern is high cost of living in Doha...........
it is a good deal.......
