No tax so take home is €10760. Friends are earning this monthly. Am I missing something? I'm not saying to to Qatar but it seems these are the correct figures
Those figures have obviously increased since I left but you are still slightly off the mark. I make 70 hours 6300QR, the housing allowance you will never see if you stay in company apartments and if you rent privately you will have to add some (unless you share like uni stundents, not idea for people with families). So take home in your bank will be about 31,000QR which at your rate of 4.28 is 7300Euros, but try getting that rate, it will be closer to 4.5 which is 6680Euros, quite different to the 11,000 you quoted. I think your mates might be making it sound better than it actually is to justify living there.
