So I've just got an offer from Samsung Engineering to work at Aramco, Riyadh. Samsung is the sub-contractor here. They've offered -
1.Around 3500 SAR for the role of Civil Engineer trainee.
2.Also accommodation and food.
3. 3 week vacation to the home country every 6 months. Free air travel.

Keep in mind that I have no prior work experience other than a 12 week internship. I'm from India.

Is this a decent offer? How's life in Riyadh or in the Aramco compound?

Its still less for a fresher, so the offer is not decent. Life in riyadh is as good as you want to take it, depends on your expectations. And ARAMCO doesnt have any compound at Riyadh and moreover if you will be working for a Contracting company for ARAMCO, that wont entitle you for an ARAMCO compound.

But as a fresher, I would still suggest you to take the offer subjected to some negotiations on salary, cuz only of BIG NAMES involved.

Good Luck
