Also can we get 1 bhk apt for 300 Bhd ??

Hi. I presume 1 BHK means 1 bedroom house with kitchen? If not please let us know what it stands for because acronyms popular in some parts of the world may mean something totally different in other parts of the world.

General points about salaries - no one can say with certainty if the salary offered is proper. Pay scales offered depend on a number of factors - your experience, demand and supply of professionals for this job, company size and type, etc. Hence its difficult to say. What we can however say is if you can live and save with the money offered.

You should be able to live comfortably on the package that has been offered and save something too. A proper 1 bedroom apartment may cost you about BD200 upwards depending on what is offered with the apartment.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hi Faraz, thank you for your reply. By 1bhk I meant Hall, One bedroom and kitchen.. we will be looking for fully furnished house.

Ok - thanks for the clarification.
You may be able to get a single-room apartment in a decent area for about BD300.
