40K salary in INDIA or 275 OMR salary in OMAN for an engg 3+ yrs exp.

Hi milind786092,

As you have rightly mentioned, you package is indeed at the very bottom rung, or even lower. For comparison, the minimum wages for locals is substantially higher than yours. What this means is that an Omani driver would be earning more than you.

Secondly, even if you were to take up this offer, your salary will not increase anything beyond marginally (3% - 5% annually), and so in the long run you would lose heavily.

Also, do not do a direct conversion of Omani Rial against the Indian Rupee. It does not work that way, since the economic dynamics vastly vary between these two countries.

If you do accept this offer you would not only be sacrificing on your earnings, but more importantly you will put your career in jeopardy.

Hello

As far as you are concerned your salary in low but if you are having growth opportunity it is ok.

I am too having 13 years of experience and also getting only 500 OMR. It is ok if company offers accommodation and food allowance and also transportation.

Regards,

Vinod
