Might need to go there for long term work ... How is the living cost? Have to discuss salary so must know all these before giving them a figure

Syok. Makan daging unta dan kambing everyday.

Kambing bakar kambing golek! Wauuuuuuuuu!

aku rasa ada ktard kerja sana.. xingt dh nama

good place, cigars are cheaps

first of the first world infrastructure, anything in the modern world you want can get there.

cost of living, if housing and transport is covered then it's same as any of the major cities for food and entertainment

if housing and transport is not, you die, 3-4k for a ROOM is normal, one apartment at least 20k and above per month.

of and prepare to be treated like 3rd world becasuse you is asian, the hierachy there is God>White Man >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>everyone else

uric acid tinggi bai.

gout.

Arab not asian?

3-4k RM?

Am trying to nego for free accomodation and transport, but in case they are not putting those up, I'd factor that into my earnings lo..

my friend live there renting apartment is about 20k per month

Yes accommodation is the killer there.. RM5k just for a room tau.. so dont get tipu when they wanna offer u RM10k as salary. End up saving nothing when u come back. Oh good luck with the weather.

yup, normally accomodation is hard to get included, because i can tell you if asian memang they will pay less than ang moh for same position.

rooms are bad, normally shared with indian or pakistanis, housing agent also treat you like them, they will say this room good bla bla then you will find it dirty smelly got kari stain on wall, you tell the agent this is not acceptable they will jeling you like bogimark who you think you are?

my friend also nearly kena rob by housing agent, bring him to go see house then tried to pao kao him, he threatened to call police then they back off but left him there, he walked 2kms in long sleeve shirt, slacks, leather shoes to find a taxi

local arabs there only 300k. india+nepal people= 1million. so qatar = india

Kalau u mat saleh u boss
Kalau u muka melayu cina india u hamba
Kalau u kuli ada baju putih u geng

Btw sini u lintas jalan langgar peraturan u kena saman kaw kaw
Sini rumah apartment punya sewa pun mahal

ini cadangan ke soalan?

unless you're in for a high position job, i wont reccomend you going there lel

in qatar everything is expensive except for their car & gas price..

My friend lived and work there...what mention above is true esspecially on the hierachy....hehe...they are masta race

jilakak one, i go shopping with ang moh kolik, he walk in front, pinoy sales person, 'hello sirrrrrr, welcome' , i follow behind, jeling at me oni

Ah, I see... Definately more than 10k la, even 15k I'd think twice..


Relatively decent position la

but ktards said if petrol price cheap, everything is cheap? Only applies in Malaysia?

malaysia boleh

I was offered years back la after 1 year grad.. now i think give me 30k also tak mau..inb4 /k minimum salary met

Cannot be better than Malaysia, since Malaysia has been ruled by BN for more than 5 decades, and have done a great job taking care of the harmonious conditions of Malaysia.

Min for apartment that you can live in is QAR8k. 12-15k better. Those are usually 2 rooms with 1 and half bath, fully furnished.

Makan, better buy and cook. Go outside, exp. Eg, Coke in Carrefour cost ard QAR.90, you pay QAR3-8 in restaurants. You pandai, can find cheap food, but how often you eat the same food?

Weather not too bad la. Less humid. I've been there June to Sept at over 40 degrees, still can walk, kasut je panas. But Oct-Feb/March nice....

Hotness same like malaysia

rough daily eat above RM50 each meal...
if company tanggung all, stay,food, transport...worth going

Depends....sometimes its hotter and dry. Sometimes it can be humid. Sometime it can be hot and f@rking sandy. When its hot & dry, its better than Malaysia which is humid.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the Riyal. We are negotiating on USD terms so have to do conversion

Ala...lebih kurang 1 to 1 with RM

Imo, If <20k not worth moving to Qatar.$20k there maybe like $10k here.

RM is stronger yo , proof BN is best

Yea, I know what you mean. I'm doing an estimation of the cost of living, some giving in riyal and some in USD, dats why..

One of my primary school teacher resides in Qatar coz her husband works there.

1. Water is different, might be sea water purified. She's dropping more hair and as a result has to buy mineral water to wash hair.
2. Jewellery and gold just sold at roadside, no shop no security. Low crime rate.
3. Peoples are rich there, I think in the city but I don't know about ppl in rural Qatar.

u will be treated worst than 2nd class malaysian citizens. avoid.

Since i am used with malaysian weather i can work there
Yeah i hate it when it is hot and sandy
Have to wear mask

All the science officers at the lab have drivers waiting in S class or beemers after work. Jelly aku...

malaysia a lot better

becuase we have BN

and according to hollywood, every arabs country is fcked up

malaysia, phillipines, burmese, vietnam, congo > qatar

Minimum you should demand for 70k per month.

got tesco?

they have other super markets but each is cold storage level, all the finest and best of the modern world

Kfc dinner plate there around rm50-60

Yeah food there freakin expensive,coz their raw material mostly imported

got gundam?

Ts. Come to dubai.

ayam in qatar almost 2 years now

the cheapest accomdation has to be sharing 9k for 3 room apt. so if u share with 2 friends, 1 peopel 3k

car is cheap, i am driving mitsu lancer 2.0, bought it for 50k

fuel ron98 is qar 1 per litre = rm0.86 per litre

summer is hot can reach 50c but u dont need to go outside, most place got air conditioning

if u come single, i think minium has to get 15k

3k for acco

2k for car

1k for food & etc

another 9k to spend & savve

salary varries very much, if you got expat package, usually can get 20k, if u got non-expat paclage, maybe only 5-8k for junior position

Hmm, so must target at least 15k la it seems... alright.. anything else I need to look out for besides living cost?

current salary x10

how about medical? insurance?

Not gotten to the benefits part, but my industry generally both are pretty well (my ex-company gaved me unlimited medical, for example).

what job u apply at qatar?

Didn't apply, being headhunted so I hope that will give me more leverage because I'm not totally sold on it just yet.

I'm in the financial industry

wah...bank manager?

medical for executive level usually fully covered, if they offer you family package, usually family also cover

including GIVING BIRTH & DENTAL... so few of my friends prefer to give birth in Qatar because its FREEE

obamanotbad

Its the rental la. Raw material is cheap. I buy my stuff at Carrefour so cheap. My Pearl apt is 15k, makan there like f@rk exp. So I makan tuck shop oni or Pizza buffet at QAR49.90/pax. Or masak sendiri la.

Sounds good

i think the real pain in tha asss for Malaysian is not able to convert Malaysia driving license to Qatar driving license, i heard now can change but not sure, u better check with Malaysia embassy in Qatar.

public transport is not very convenient in Qatar, very hard to get legal taxi but lot of illegal taxi

paparoti aka paprich + rotiboy is almost 5x more than malaysia lol...

but u earning much more leee... hahaha

the cheapest food i think is indian food, can get thali for qar12...

mcd about 50% more exp but your salary more than 50% in malaysia.. so bersyukurlah

Barua taxi banyak lah....tapi I pakai regular punya taxi sapu, Camri.

Driving license can use yr IDP from JPJ. If you want Qatar one, have to take test.

Near M Hotel ada kedai whole chicken roast QAR12 plus drinks around 15. Tapi tak kan hari hari nak roast chicken? Kalau lupa bawak chilli sauce, kena makan dengan HP Brown sauce and ketchup. Yucks!

IDP only valid if you are tourist, if working here i dont think its valid, anyway boleh check sama Malaysia embassy

makan memang problem, tak banyak option untuk orang malaysia...

There is no other way unless you convert. My 1 year car rental accepts my IDP.

car rental usually take, but i am not sure if got into accident, will the polis accept

i know without a car in doha can be very
