HumanBeing said
This seems like QP ...If so, please confirm schooling for your kids well in advance.
nasser said
Experience ...Well....15 yrs experience
nasser said
Human being ...But is the offer standard for the grade. And do you think its a good deal?
HumanBeing said
It seems OK, but... ...I guess, if you are a western, you are entitled to western inducement allowance. It’s a couple of thousand riyals. varies a bit with citizenship.
nasser said
Human being.....tks dude! ...Well...am not a western but an asian. Why the inducement allowance???thought its all the same...
anywaysss....are u staying in qatar? hows the life there? been reading too many opinions here...am going crazy with confusion!!
Malindo001 said
Welll ...Dear sir
I think u should say yes
HumanBeing said
It depends ...It depends what kind of job u already have?
nasser said
Present job... ...Well...right now am teaching...for pass 6 years but I see no signs of additional monetary rewards in the near future. The offer in total is about 1.5 times more than my present and the job offered is something I like doing.Seems like my butt is a bit reluctant to move after being here in singapore all my life but the new experience is very tempting.
HumanBeing said
Check out education issues ...I think, its still important that you check out educational compensation, if you are married and have kids.
I believe there is no Singaporian school in town.

That's a standard Grade 13 offer ...Sounds reasonable. Pay is 1.5x your salary and you're expecting to like the job (which is important). Additional monetary rewards are minimal at QP though. Their raise this year was 7% max and inflation here was over 8%. For QR8,400 you will be renting an average flat, unless you want to dip into your savings for a villa.
Singapore is a direct flight from Doha and you get 37 working days holiday/yr +2 one week Eid breaks. Plenty of time to go home for vacation if you're homesick.
It sounds like you would be leaving a secure job to come here though, which may be a risk. QP and Qatar aren't for everybody and I know quite a few people who returned home after 3 months for various reasons.
