Hi,

I have got an offer from a company in Bahrain which pays BHD 450.  The do not provide any accommodation allowance or etc.
Do you think this is enough to manage?  I am single and i would like to know if this is a good offer to accept?

Thanks

Personally I think it is an awful offer. Even with accommodation included you will struggle. Ask for double that and you may be on to a winner.

Accommodation for a single person is fro m150 - 250BD per month, food is cheap but you still need to save for your future and survive.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply!

Well The Company says thats the standard pay for the designation. I am not going to spend much other than for necessities, but getting an accommodation and meeting daily needs will be difficult i guess.
What would your opinion be?

Josnuggles

All companies here offer less than they are prepared to pay so negotiate in the first instance. If you feel you are happy living in a very basic small accommodation then yes you will survive. But is surviving as good as living?

You want to work to live, not live to work.

Your decision totally but I feel you could do better.
