Hi sana121,

The salary you are getting currently in India translates roughly to about R.O. 93/per month.

Compared to that, you have now been offered R.O. 500/per month, which if converted to Indian Rupees is about 80,514/per month.

Given the huge difference in your current and promised monthly income, I don't think there's anything more to be decided here !

Good luck.

If you move in as a bachelor and your transport and accommodation is catered for and you don't wish to spend a lavish lifestyle you can easily save about 350-400  of these. Which is about 50000 to 60000 Rupees.

Hope you will have more experience then you will get triple salary of what you have in Oman now.

Cheers

Hi jimit026,

If the company is providing you with accommodation then it is part of the package and you do not have to pay anything extra.

Accommodation conditions would vary vastly depending on the company as well as the level of the employee. Some top-tier companies offer really good facilities for its employees, while most of all the smaller companies provide only the basics.

The place of accommodation also matters a lot. It all depends on how financially strong and stable the company is, so that their investments made on their employees justifies their status.

Hi oabdelbaset,

To know about the average cost of living, read the posts under the topic of 'cost of living'.

See, it's simple.

Thank you Sumitran for your reply, I'm checking the post now
It will be more helpful for me if you can mention some links for:
1- Hypermarket site or a source for goods prices (Food, Groceries, household, etc.)
2- Accommodation rent site
3- Used (second hand) Furniture and housing stuff
4- Used cars for sale
your cooperation is highly appreciated
thanks

Hi oabdelbaset,

No point checking all of these remotely.

(1) Once you are in Oman you will know your place of residence. Then look around for the closest shopping outlets.

(2) For accommodation, the best would be for you to identify the neighborhood where you wish to live. And take a walk / drive around and you will see buildings with 'For Rent' signboards and contact telephone numbers. Call them, see the place and finalise the villa / house / flat to your liking.

Another alternative is to scan the local dailies in the 'For Rent' classified columns. You will find a lot of listings there as well.

(3) There are many such shops in places like Al Hamriya, Muttrah, Ruwi, etc - this side of town. Am sure there are many such areas on the other side of town as well - like Al Khoud, Al Seeb, Al Hail, etc. And also in between, like AL Khuwair, Al Qurum, Wattayah, etc.

(4) Almost all car dealers also have a 'Used Car' division attached to their main showrooms. They can be mostly found in the Al Wattayah area.

Again, like I mentioned before, unless you are physically present here in Muscat none of these would actually make any sense.
