Hi

Iv been offered a positon in Doha, if my salary is paid into my bank account in Riyals when coverting to pounds in the UK Will I lose out ?

Apart from the exchange rate, QAR/GBP, the only other charge would be the international transfer into your account. That's all I pay, so not sure about your situation...

Depending on your needs, you could look at a 1 bedroom apartment, ranging from 6,000 to 10,000 and 2 bedroom 9,000 to 13,000. Compound 3 bedroom free standing are expensive and probably from 20,000 upwards. All depends on area and furnished or not.

I have been offered 15000 per month Do you think on a single salary we will be comfortable ?

My husband will look for work once he is there.

With a sales background will he struggle to find work ?
