Hi, I have got an offer for SAR 18000 per month, the company will borne the flight charges, medical insurance but not covering the accomodation. After 6 months, they will process the iqama and was told that then only you can take your family and the expenses for the family has to be paid by me. I would like to know whether this is a decent offer, should I consider even if I have to bear the expenses for the family later. Thanks, Nadeem

Hi Nadeem, although I have'nt personally lived in Saudi Arabia, 18000 riyals is indeed a decent pay. Through my sources I came to know that a decent two bedroom flat in the city will cost you around 22000 per year. And expenses you will be spending almost 5000 Riyals if you live a lavish life. However I am not aware about the school fees.

I have an offer from Jeddah of SAR6,000 plus monthly bonus of 50% of basic salary or SAR 9,000. They will also give me monthly SAR 1600 for housing and transportation allowance. Do you, guys, think this is a fair offer for an Account Manager position? What's the ave. cost of living for a family of 4 in Jeddah?
