I really cannot understand how people can go on advising someone to ask for more salary when they do not even have a clue about the job position being offered. The salary depends not on nationality but on the job position. I had a lady secretary(single) in my company who was a original UK citizen getting only QR.5500 but she was surviving too.
These days due to the worldwide economic recession, there are too many people available for a job so dont push too much for a very high salary.
