You must elaborate further on the job itself. Is it upstream related ( Reservoir, Production, Drilling & etc) ? Or is considered as midstream or downstream ?

I know some drilling consultant making USD2k/day & I also know of piping engineers with USD10k/month . It really depends on your job & the years of experience that you have in the industry.

Upstream production group.

Offer was as department head of instrumentation and control. 11-12 years experience.

We haven’t discussed anything about salary yet but I just wanted to gauge what the general salary is like for Qatar (Doha).

Seems good, bro. Worked in Qatar before for 3 years back in 2008, my FIL is still in Qatar. Are you going there alone of with family? If with family, have to consider family package/benefits. The school fees is a bomb. Rental seems to be going down at the moment, 5k-8k figures. Normal expenses are ok there.

Going alone.

So this sort of range is ok for Qatar? Is the pay scale in Qatar higher than the US?

Can buy car there at cheap price?
