Hi,

Pretty expensive, comparable to larger cities in the US IMO. Big ticket items will be rent, schooling and childcare, so depends how flexible you are on those

So is QAR 10,00,000/year good enough?

Don’t you still need to pay taxes in the US even if no income tax in Qatar?

Your first 96k is tax free. Example you get paid 150k you will only be taxed on 54k.

You can exclude 100k from US income tax, but will still have to pay on the rest. IMO, 1m QAR per year would allow you a somewhat better lifestyle than USD 200k in New York/LA/Chicago etc

I would think hard about making this move if you need to travel out of Qatar often for work. I’ve heard the travel restrictions imposed by war zones makes it nearly impossible to get anywhere quickly. I spoke with someone in leadership recently who has to move since it’s so bad.

@M1 - they reached out to me via LinkedIn..
