Our family lives in Qatar for the past 4 years and Qatar is the safest place we ever experienced after spending years in Florida and France. It is very safe for kids and women, you do not have to worry about burglary, rape, car hijacking, or children kidnapping! Ladies can have a regular life meaning having a job, driving a car and not having to wear hijab (scarf) or abaya (black dress covering all body) like in Saudi Arabia! This shows you already how open minded the country is compared to other parts of the Middle East (we have a lady minister of education for the past 2 years). You need to sign your contract overseas (best deals because you usually get a nice salary, + housing, + car, + insurance) and you also get a tax break of $ 80 K with the IRS if you are US citizen. If you come here and look for a ';local hire'; position it will be more difficult, and the deals are not good. You need to make sure housing is fully paid by company whatever your require (appartment, villa, etc.) Rentals have doubled and tripled in the past 2 years and you can not find a villa under 15,000 QR (4,000 $ US). Inflation has been very high in the past 2 years (officially 12 % but it is over 20 %).
There is an amazing Education City shaping up and several US colleges have already moved in (Texas A%26amp;M, Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, VCU, Weill Cornell with a teaching hospital of 350 beds to open soon).
You have to know that we are over 830,000 inhabitants in this country and 3/4 are expatriates (majority coming from south Asia) and about 200,000 Qataris. Right now they try to have more Qataris get good positions and have more Qatari women in the working force, but there is still space for people with good education and experience. Engineering and medical field will always be in need.
To find a job over here, you have to apply online and check different sites. I will list you a bunch of sites to visit for more informations and to check job vacancies.
