Hi All,
I made a post few days ago asking your opinion about the salary offered to me by a university for the position of assistant professor. The employer offered me basic salary of 8000 + 2500 for accommodation + healthcare + air tickets. I have recently got PhD from Europe. At the time of accepting the offer I was unaware of salary standards in Saudi Arabia. Now i asked the university to reconsider the contract. But instead the university has told me that I am legally bound to come to Saudi Arabia and I must teach students for coming semester and no compromise can be made regarding salary. I am still in Europe and I have better job offer here. What can be the consequences if i cancel the contract now? I know it is unethical but to my understanding I will get exploited if i come to Saudi Arabia at low salary. I have already read on this forum that the salary is low and once a person is in Saudia then not much can be done regarding salary issues.
Please reply as soon as possible.
Thank You
Jamal
