It's a new one - I didn't realise they had done a big update.
Still keeping the Datsun though. |

Not that it matters. I've just been given the marching orders to Doha :( Either I find a new job pronto or it's Dohell come August :eek: Like give me an in depth review of Doha; the misses says i should move there for more money. |
Re: How is business?
It's hotter. It's more dusty. Walking outside in Doha is like walking into a blast furnace.
Minimal landscaping. Few green bits. Driving is much worse. It's more expensive. Everything from housing to food is more expensive. Quality of housing is utter crap too. You pay through the nose for something in the Pearl or you're stuck in something that looks like it belongs in Baghdad. It's totally dry during Ramadan (I'm not a big drinker so that doesn't affect me but it tells you it's not a relaxed place). Few recreational amenities, at least not like the UAE. No camping in Oman on the weekends. Beaches aren't as good. No extensive outdoor / sporting community to join up with. It's a general all around shithole compared to the UAE. You only move to Doha for the money and unfortunately it looks like the money will be the same as my current package in the UAE. I actually really like the Doha team and working with them is going to be the sole benefit of living in Doha. But even so I'm going to quietly look around at other jobs, starting tonight. ***** this man. I really didn't want this to happen.

Re: How is business?
Look on the bright site - you have a job. Imagine if you didn't have the "Qatar" to fall back on. You now have a couple of months to look for work (and still have your current job), get your CV in order and sort things out.
It's not end of the world; and it's only a 45min flight. |
