QP offer
By Lavenda on Sat, 05/07/2008 - 7:07amHi Folks
I was offered a package from QP for a Grade 15 job
- Basic 19,000
- Housing 14,000
- Furniture allowance 55,000
- Transport 2,000
- Medical coverage, free education for children
- Return air ticket for family.
- performance bonus
- Annual increment
My family will not join me in Qatar and hence my status will change from 'family' to 'Bachelor' status which lead to lower in housing and furniture allowance. The HR said QP very seldom offer Grade 16 package.
I have master degree and 17 years of working experience with 1 year in Oil & Gas.
Should I accept this is offer? Could you please advise me on this.

working for government - 5000usd?
By Andrei80 on Fri, 04/07/2008 - 2:43pmHi guys
i just received an offer from a QA Gov. body - and it is 5000 USD plus usual benefits - housing allowance, car allowance, ensurances, etc.
For me it seems bot be enough to move in DOha and actually live and still keeping a part of the payment for going back home...
So pls. advise, if anyone could share with me if 5000 USD is ok for a executive manager position - in a gov. institution. I have experience and all.
i need to make the move, withdraw or accept... how do you feel it?
21000 QAR Salary - enough?
By BRITTANY on Fri, 04/07/2008 - 1:37pmI'm being offered a transfer for approx 21000 QAR per month. This is base and car allowance combined. Plus, each month I'm bonused on the profitability of the office which can range from nil to thousands. I'm single (except for my two cats :) ).... am I going to be able to live well on this? Would be looking at a 2 bedroom place and I'd purchase a vehicle outright cash so no monthly payments to worry about. Qatar is income tax-free, correct?
Would appreciate anyone's comments.
