It depends on your lifestyle. If you are single you can save more by this offer especially if you live in a sharing accomodation..

"what about inflation and the high cost of living here"

"Applicable to all SEA and Far East as well" doesn't make a difference

My fellow kabayan, if you are a bachelor then the offer "may" be feasible.

If you have plans of taking your wife with you here in time, better think twice.

You will go crazy with the inflation and yes, Qatar is a very expensive place to live in.

dmigtysolomon said Bobz, I think i's a good offer.... ...

for the 3K lodging allowance, you will survive but on limited "extra curricular activities". The 6K, you can send half of it to your family and keep some as savings or for personal expenses. I knew a lot of our "kababayan" earning a little bit lower than that but is happy working here. When you're here, you can always source-out other jobs in other neighboring countries. Of course, finish your contract first and be patient.
