HI vatsal1993,

The salary offered is akin to that of a blue collar labourers. If you are a double graduate this is way too less.

Given your current job profile, you would be committing professional suicide by taking up this job here.

Do give it a serious thought before deciding.

Read the 'Cost of Living' forum discussions for details of the cost of living.

All information that you can use are already there. So why ask ?

Hi
IMO, not a good package at all... But it depends on your qualification & current job profile in India.
Muscat is an expensive city. Somewhere in the forum, it is mentioned that food for a bachelor would cost around 50-60 Rials per month if you eat in a restaurant (a bit less if you cook for yourself). You will spend on electricity, telephone/internet bills too. Can go through 'cost of living' section in Muscat Forum for more information.
