QATAR offer- good or bad?
Hi,
I went for a job interview in the early summer with a healthcare entity in Qatar and have finally received a provisional offer. I was earning 55kGBP ish in my full time role and picking up a further 5-10kGBP doing consultancy work in the UK.
The breakdown I have been given is 28 850 QAR per calendar month
Basic Salary: (13,000) QR P/M
Housing Allowance: (6,500) QR P/M
Transport Allowance: (2,000) QR P/M
Mobile Phone: (1,000) QR P/M
End of Service Allowance: (1,083) QR P/M
Special Allowances: (5,000) QR P/M
Annual Ticket
45 calendar days of leave
Now give or take a little, it seems as though mm salary has been matched almost pound for pound.
I asked for 30% uplift (on my UK salary- not in those words obviously!) which was flatly rejected
My questions are
Is this a reasonable salary for a senior non clinical healthcare role (postgrad with 10 years experience)? I feel that it is a not but am unsure as this is a public sector employer.
If this is a poor offer what would an average offer look like?
Is the salary breakdown typical?
Thanks in advance for reading. I would really appreciate any pointers you may have....

Basic Salary: (13,000) QR P/M If you are alone is savings
Housing Allowance: (6,500) QR P/M If you are alone this is enough
Transport Allowance: (2,000) QR P/M You can rent a small car or buy something 4x4 borrowing the money for that
Mobile Phone: (1,000) QR P/M Will cost you 400 a month using it as much as you want
End of Service Allowance: (1,083) QR P/M Thats all banked
Special Allowances: (5,000) QR P/M Thats your living money
Annual Ticket Standard
45 calendar days of leave Way too much

Re: QATAR offer- good or bad?
45 calendar days is not too much, when weekends count so what you & I would say is a 5 day week = 9 calendar days
basically this equates to 5 weeks of leave or 25 days in real terms
the deal is ok for a singleton, but you're apparently not in a niche skillset that is highly technical and in demand and the salary reflects that - it's ok, but it's not rock star
