Hello Valued members,

I have been in final rounds of discussion to consider offer of IT Project Manager; the offer which they are sticking is 1600 OMR. Accomodation only there for 2-3 weeks. Also, from documentation side what all things I need to be sure of

I do not plan to get my son and wife at this moment as my son is studying; The company offered to bear round-trip expenses full paid for family once a year; standard Oman leaves; plus visa for entire family and medical insurance

I also have to consider sending almost 70000 INR every month to my parents back in India. Quick response much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi ishkapoor,

What exactly does "Accomodation only there for 2-3 weeks." mean ?

INR. 70,000/- is about R.O.425/-. A sum you can easily save (out of R.O. 1,600/-) if you are going to be living by yourself.

Thanks for your valued reply. Accommodation is to be arranged by myself and they are providing accommodation for period of 3 weeks in which I need to arrange myself a place to stay

Also, I have been hired via a company based in Chennai who will be deploying me as IT Project Manager

Thanks

Please share some valued links and also is there any amount I shall ask the hiring company that I should have once I land

Rather what all things I should be taking care as I land

Most apartments here come unfurnished.So I suggest asking for a onetime settling in cum furniture allowance of 1500OMR.
