Cardozo I am also from America (Cincinnati Ohio) working for American company in Doha Qatar. Let me tell you this if I haven’t committed to my company I would have left Qatar with-in one week.

Compare to USA, standard of living in Qatar is 5 (On scale of 1 to 10).
Weather is nasty (Too Hot compare to Cincinnati)
Driving is dangerous.
No entertainment except for few clubs and they are outrageous cover charge and drinks are expensive. Most of the girls you meet there are prostitutes.
