I have had an offer of BD2500/month. It is said that accommodation rent would be BD650, a car and fuel may cost BD 250/month, and provision for groceries BD 300/month . This would leave me with BD 1300/month which is equivalent to about 26 000 South African Rands. Is this a fair offer for a shopping Mall Facilities manager?

I have 11 yrs of experience in sales and marketing. How much shall I expect in Bahrain.

Offer is 1100 Fixed and 500 Variable ie performace linked.

Please tell me how much I would save on my fixed in a scenario where I have wife, a school going daughter, a very small kid. Car is provided by company. Is this a comfirtable salary. If not then how much is genuine for a sales manager role. I want to save atleast 600 to 700 BD a month. What is that genuine negotiable figure I should ask for.

Also what is the cost of getting resident family visa for wife, daughter of 6 yrs and kid of 6 months.

Regards

Ranjit
