Hi there, I will greatly appreciate if you could answer some of my queries. I sent you a DM.

Hey,  The salaries in Saudi are based on nationality and your base pay in your country (Canada) in order to attract expat from different countries, they salary has to be higher than your basic pay in your country.  Therefore there is no set rule for the salaries.
My advice before you sign the is to study your contract & employment package which should include the following:
1- Make sure that your pay is higher than your basic pay
2- Housing is it provided or they will give housing allowance
3- Medical insurance
4- Yearly ticket to your country
5- Children's education if you have children
Then you calculate the salary and the benefits and decide about accepting the offer

Hi everyone,

I  have a few questions regarding  KFUPM if anyone shares the experience.

1. Is it ok to share the last pay slip? It is personal information. What if I do not share it?
2. How long does it take to get an offer after providing the last pay slip?
3. What is the expected salary (and other benefits) that fits my profile? I am an NZ citizen with over seven years of teaching experience in NZ universities. I have more than 50 international publications with many master's and PhD supervision experience.
4. Lastly, how long it takes to get the visa?

Kind Regards
