Is 12,500 QR/month good for a Systems Engr
A Company Q* is offering the following:
- 12.5k per month
- 2K transport allowance
- A family status (with 3 children; one over 18yrs)
- children education
- free fully furnished accommodation + untilities
- return ticket back to UK once a year
- yearly performance bonus
- 3 yrs definitive contract
Is this package good enough for a Systems Engineer with 15yrs+ experience?
Please advise.
Good luck, let us know!

for an english family 12,500 too low, me as a student cant even live with that much in this city.
Thanks mandilulur for this valuable information and analysis. Well received.
Cheers
No they will not cover anything for a son over 18. He can't even be sponsored by you at that age, I believe. He can only come in on tourist visas. I find the cost of living in Doha higher than New York City, personally. A good rule of thumb is what you are making in the UK plus 25% plus housing, schooling, transport. etc.

Thanks Just1s and Madilulur. Responses much appreciated. I thought as much that the basic is low. I am actually making more than that at the moment but since I do not know what is applicable in Qatar re-cost of living, I thought may be I should consider given the attached benefits. Would you consider 20k as the minimum acceptable? Also, do you know if companies take care of education of over 18yrs or not?
That's low. Aren't you making more in the UK? I'm thinking 20,000K would be better. Your benefits are good, though.

The package is too small, 12.5k per month is not enough as per your experience and profession you deserve more. its just a salary of document controller in Consultancy company.
ask for more.
