QS Salary Expectations In Qatar
I have numerous interviews lined up for the position of Cost Manager/QS for consultancies based in Doha & have very little knowledge of what salary expectations to have. I have a Degree in QS & PM, 6 yrs experience working for a consultants within the UK & am due to obtain my RICS qualification November 2011.
In consideration of my personal experience, what should I expect salary wise, including expat benefits etc? Two consultants have quoted 23-25k/mth inclusive of housing & car allowance, is this the norm? Thanks in anticipation. |
Re: QS Salary Expectations In Qatar
I've seen packages around the £2-3k a month salary, £2-2.5k housing + bonus, furniture, flights, medical etc.
Good Luck - I'm in the same position at the moment. Looking at Abu Dhabia and Qatar. PM if you wanna chat through stuff as always good to bounce ideas. |

Sounds low to me, the first offer 25k as a salary might just be ok but still seems on the low side, but definitely not as an all in package.

Thanks in anticipation. 10K HOUSING 4K CAR ALLOWANCE 2 FLIGHTS MEDICAL ANNUAL BONUS That's a shoo in package for a first time expat in Doha , if the consultant won't go near it then tell him to poke it mate. |

In the Middle East they tend to get 'Wrapped-Up' in the Salary Package. However, as far as I am concerned, 'Salary is Salary!' Forget allowances, you need an overall package! - Most companies (Local and Expat) try to reduce the Basic Salary to avoid paying Gratuity! (Final Gratuity is calculated on Basic Salary Only!) Qatar is NOT Dubai! - Despite what you might have been told! - It is one of the Shitholes of the Middle East! So therefore, add something extra to the package. QR 50,000/- should be your minimum target. If they cannot come up with that, forget it! |
