Is it a decent salary - please advise

I don't now anything about Oman, but if 12,000 is average then 2,000 is well below average.

@Hailey, that's what i think...but a lil maaths doesn't square the things up...2200 omr/month translates to about USD 69000 (tax free)  per year...which should not be that much below than average

anyone from that region, plz?

Of course it is a good salary.U can rent a very decent two bedroom flat for 400-500 OmR based on that u can calculate other expenses.

Hi !

I am male, 32, married, no children. I have a doctorate in finance and I got a job offer from Oman (near Muscat area).

- The salary is about OMR 2200 per month + twice a year return tickets for myself and my wife.
-The employer provides medical coverage and one time furnishing allowance of OMR 2,500
- nothing else is provided by the employer (NO housing, NO transport etc)

Can anyone please guide me on the following:

Q1 - Is it a decent salary in Omani context?
I have seen on the following link that average salary in Oman is OMR 12, 686 per month
salaryexplorer.com/salary-survey.php?&loctype=1&loc=163

Q2 - Is it sufficient to maintain a "normal" lifestyle for a couple with no children yet? If I want to rent a two bed apartment, maintain a car, travel a bit etc

Hi 10premium,

The salary offered to a doctorate degree holder is very low.

At least, if accommodation and all else is provided by the employer then it might be worth a remote consideration. Else, it is a bad deal - for the employee.

Secondly, the average monthly salary quoted in www.salaryexplorer.com is completely incorrect. Only a fraction of the salaried population in Muscat would draw an amount like that.

With the salary offered to you, yes, you can lead a above average lifestyle with a lot of material comforts. Suggest you read through the forum's cost of living topic for further details and clarity.

Hi Sumitran
Just wanted to point out, the query you've just answered is 3-year old!
BTW I was surprised to read that a salary of OMR 2200 is considered 'very low'...
