Hi All,

I'm an Irish-based accountant currently negotiating a move to Qatar. Don't know anything about life there and would like a "heads up". I'mn 49 years old, married with a son who is about to enter college here in Ireland. The plan is that my wife would stay here in Ireland for the next 3/4 years.

Don't have a contract/details yet but I have been told that the package includes accomodation, flights, travel &transportation and a monthly living allowance outside the basic salary. The indicated salary is 345,00 QAR.

Work rotation is 12 weeks on, 2 weeks off.

Any comments/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
