I've been reading all the forums etc as Husband has an offer for a job in Jeddah & we want to negotiate the best deal if we go ahead.
We're a family of 4, with 2 girls (4yr old and 10mth old).
Obviously housing is a big one as I will only move if we're on a decent compound, though I'm not sure which one would suit us (and how long the waiting list would be). I would like a larger size compound with gym & pool and ideally a younger family demographic. I'm not sure how much we should allocate for this.
Next thing would be school. My older girl would be starting prep here in Australia in 2014, so we'd need some schooling allowance. Again not sure how bad waiting lists etc are or how much to allocate.
And then flights - I'd really like 1 business class return trip to Australia for the family but is it ever accepted/ok to try and push for some extra local flights say to Dubai?
So any ballpark figures for housing, schooling, and flights would be hugely appreciated.
Also - anything else I should be considering?
