Grade 6 in Qatar Airways!

Dear QL people,

I am getting an offer from Qatar Airways for a new post they created, and they mentioned grade 6 as I have a short experience for the post.

They are offering me only 7000QR, it will be a contract job for few months..OH and working hours will be 6 hours only. Looking at past discussions going back to 2009 seems like the offer is low especially that they have not mentioned any extras.

Do they provide any allowances for Contract Jobs?
I need an answer that could help me negotiate at a level where I know what they can offer me and not trick me into a contract with fixed low salary.

Please help.

Thanks

Is it including Housing Allowances + other Allowances?

salary for Grade 6 is

1. If you are in Technical dept then you will be getting more than 12K + ID90 + Annual tickets for family.

2. If you are non tech then salary will be less.

Check with HR person for more details

As Alexam said..

I understand one reason they picked me is nationality as they specifically mentioned that for this post they do not want visa transfers and hassle.

The other thing is I can see from QL discussions back in 2009 the minimum offers were around 8-8.5K basic. I understand that housing might not be provided since its a contract and I work an hour less or even less than an hour less.

So, correct me if I am wrong, can I negotiate and clearly say " it is clear that your grade six for new hires no experience can reach up to 8.5 and hope to get a raise" and be confident.!??!

What i know that the accomodation will be provided as well as tickets. 7000 is the basic salary, so may be QAR1000 for transportation.So, it'll be around 8000+ accomodation is provided by the company+ tickets.

Grade 6 is an officer position & starting from grade 7 is managerial level

The salary offer is low considering you're a professional. And your nationality as well. I know a friend of mine who's from your country and only completed higher secondary got grade 5 with a salary of 8.5k. You should clarify it with them if some other perks or benefits is included in the package offered to you. Cost of living here is more than in your country. Think twice before you grab the opportunity.
