I’m an engineer in Australia with around 2 years experience and received a offer for a role in Qatar.
Package is roughly:
QAR 25,000/month total cash
Bonus min QAR 50k, max QAR 100k
Healthcare for wife/kids
Annual flights home for family
Relocation support (shipping container provided)
QAR 25k sign on bonus
QAR 30k/year education allowance per child once they start school
I’d be relocating with my wife and newborn. My wife is happy to move but will be a stay at home mum.
In Australia, I’m getting promoted in December to around AUD 130k/year (QAR 325k/year) + 15% bonus
Is the Qatar package worth uprooting for, or is it too close to what I’d likely earn if I stayed in Australia?
I'm a Muslim so culture fit is no problem, probably would enjoy living in Qatar better.

I’m from New Zealand and have been offered a job in Doha with a salary of 40,000 QAR/month, which includes the housing allowance.
A bit of context:
25 Years Old
Wife won’t be working.
We have a 4-month-old baby.
Private healthcare is fully covered.
One return flight home for the family each year is included.
There’s also a 20% annual bonus, which we’d probably use for travel and holidays rather than day-to-day expenses.
I’ll be working in Doha and we’d probably live fairly close to the office.
The rough plan would be:
Around 12,500 QAR/month on rent.
Around 12,500 QAR/month on day-to-day living, groceries, eating out, entertainment, etc.
Send around 12,500 QAR/month back to New Zealand to pay off our mortgage as quickly as possible.
Does that sound realistic? Would 40k QAR/month allow us to live comfortably while still being able to stick to that plan, or am I underestimating the cost of living?
I’d really appreciate hearing from people who actually live in Doha. Thanks!

Hi I'm from New Zealand and been offered a job that pays about 40k QAR monthly. I wanted to ask how quality of life will be, is this a salary that allows for a comfortable life in Qatar (Family with 1 child)
