Is it a good salary?
By Comingtoqatar •
Hi there,
I got an offer to move to Qatar from US
I currently have a good position in a good institution
I've 8 years experience.
The offer is around QAR45k/month with other perks.
How good it is?
How does it in Qatar in terms of negotiating higher salaries? It's hard to find resources related to Salaries in Qatar ...
Thanks ya'll
i think 50% more would be better :)as a us citizen u worth gold dude can i be ur friend:)
20% more! I'm thinking.
How much do you think you deserve?
No it's not fake!
But I think I got a good idea on how to approach it
from this threads and others.
It's a very active forum by the way!
For a "big boss" and someone your age, it ain't that great. Remember you will have to pay some taxes and certainly all of them the first year. I'd check out the living conditions offered very carefully and all the extras which should include car, utilities, school fees, and 4 business class airfares. Good luck! Oh, and you WILL have to pay taxes on the fair market value of your housing. etc., including airfares.

Not only that, Mandi. The replies also depend on where each individual poster is coming from. Generally, for Asians, QR45k is a lot but not so for some others. But QR45k all inclusive? Should also take into account the budget busters esp. accomodation.
Comingtoqatar - you can do a search on QL for your concerns and then ask specific questions if you still haven't found what you want to know and you might get some answers.
Btw, we're all volunteers, not people connected with the govt tourism or anything so pls don't be discouraged if you don't get proper answers sometimes. I say this cos there have been many times in the past where newbies ask questions and expect answers and get upset when there aren't any useful ones and then blame the QL site owners.
and will remain in the US.
no its not enough don't come here.
Is this a show off? Or are you dump to know 12000 USD pm is too low?
Bill Gates will only laugh about this salary!
Ya, good offer.
You Get Approx 12000USD and thats Quite Suffucient
Yes It seems very strange for a US citizen to ask such questions in a forum - As Mandilulur said without giving any idea about the job or his qualifications or any details - this looks to be a fake !
You really would have to give us an idea of the job and the company in order for us to answer that. It varies widely with position.

Thanks for the responses.
Any idea of how it works in Qatar when it comes to negotiating a higher salary!?
If you convert 45k to US dollars and you earn almost the same amount, then you better stay in the US. If not, don't hesitate, move to Qatar. I have nothing against Qatar because the locals are now very adaptable people especially if you work in a well sought company. In fact you might probably feel that other arabs are more up to themselves. The way people drive there is crazy though. No discipline and road rage is massive! I had lived in Qatar for x amount of years so I know what it's like. I will come back definitely...my passive lifestyle suits me to be there. good luck!
Very good offer..
