So I have a well rounded experience.

(All numbers in QR)
Base salary: 15000 + sales incentive
Housing: 8000
Transport: 2000
Other benefits: gasoline/Cell phone/airline tickets/health insurance/life insurance/30-day vacation/End of period benefit.

We have a kid but he is just 1.5 years old. So no schooling needed for the next 3 years. Do you think it's a decent offer to enter a career path in the Middle East? I feel that housing allowance is in the low side.

Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
hi zamindar ... welcome to BE. I have seen your post in another forum. At the moment only me and Maltesers from Qatar.

I would say you would better off looking an aswer in QL, while in BE is perfect for you to ask about UAE

Not a huge fan of that site in general but it's not too far from the truth in the case of Qatar. There's been a recent article in the Gulf-Times about the COL here too, worth checking that one out, could be of use in re-negotiating your package.

Only you know what your OTE might be, and what your driving motivations for the move are ..... but unless its a good 10k on top, I'd seriously consider if it's worth while for you.

Companies in general are struggling hugely to get people out here right now, so don't get low-balled.
