230BD SALARY, is it enough?

If accommodation and transport are provided, you will be able to manage but it will be a struggle.

Please can you take a look at the previous discussions on cost of living.  Once you have done that you may get all your questions answered. If you still have more questions feel free to post them here.

Good luck with your new job.

My company works with agencies and I personally have worked for agencies in the past too. It's hard to say without knowing much about your skills and experience and quality of the work you produce, however 230BD for a good graphic designer seems a bit too little to me. Is there any chance you can negotiate it up a bit?

Hello brightonguy,

Thanks for your inputs. Therefore I am correct that the offer was not good. I've tried to negotiate, actually I am only asking for atleast 300BD, but the employer said he can't go that high and insisted that 230 is just ok for their company will provide accomodation, transport, medical and uniforms.

Maybe I should go to try my luck and just look for a good paying company after my contract.
I'm  a bit sad because I think that 230 is really not enough for my skills

Thanks again!

If you are in need of a job desperately, then take this offer and gain some working experience in the Middle East. After a couple of years, you can start looking around for a better offer.

Hi
230BD is nowhere near enough the housing will be poor you will live with the rest of the team working ,sleeping , with your work team is not good.
You should look at 400bd per month .
Also if you want to come to the middle east then i would forget about Bahrain and look at Oman ,Qatar,or UAE ,i would suggest Qatar as they will need your skills more for everything that is happening there over the coming years for the world cup and also Bahrain has nothing except street rioting , police check points etc
