I have got an offer from one of the companies in Doha, west bay area. My company is offering me 10000 QAR including everyting. Would like to stay in a semi-furnished room on own and would want to cook one time. Internet and phone will be other charges. So would like to know how good i the offer and should i go ahead with it?? Early responses will be appreciated.

Also would like to mention that i have another offer from one of the companies in Riyadh, KSA with an offer of around 8100 SAR, so can anybody help me in making the choice??

Go for qatar anyday!

you can always prove yourself worthy of getting a better pay - work hard, struggle for first few years and you will find this place has much more to offer you than saudi.

control ur expenses by avoiding luxury shopping and extrvagant entertianment - u will do fine.

go for qatar.

Well, if you want to save more money, choose Saudi Arabia offer, however, if you care for nice living conditions, go ahead for Qatar.

It's your call

Good luck & Bonne chance,

Cheers!

The offer for Saudi is better money wise, but living conditions are better in Qatar.

Good Luck
