hi babatee.. ...i think its reasonable for the said position.. but the house rent is so expensive here.. you have to ask the company to provide you with accomodation and car..
but if you will bring your family here.. it would be very expensive for you..
house rent to bedroom is like 8000-10000 depending on the place.. electricity is around 1000 depending on how u are using electric.
shopping for food will cost you like 2000
this is only for family status not sure if only for one..
you have to ask the company to provide you with accomodation and car.

i would take the QR 20.000 ...i would take the QR 20.000 with acommodation, you will not be able to get a flat for QR 5000
how about school?
OfMyHeartShape said
20k with accommodation is ...20k with accommodation is far better then 25k w/o accommodation .. you will be spending not less then 7k on a 2 bedroom apartment

I think people need to ...I think people need to realize that when people come to the forums and say "All inclusive" it means EVERYTHING is included.
/-a-t-/babatee, 20k plus accommodation is indeed the better choice.
/-a-t-/ofmyheartshape, you CAN find an apartment for less than 7k.
