I have recently completed my degree in electronics engineering and have been offered a position for Technical and Sales Engineer in KSA. They are offering me US$800/= per month i.e (SAR3000/

+ accommodation + medial insurance.

Will this be sufficient and how much will i be able to save every month. More so what are the over head expenses other than food, like transportation, electricity bills etc.

Any other piece of advice like frauds, exploitation etc.

Thanks in Advance

hi assim, i am not an engineer but im working in saudi arabia regarding your querries well that money can support you because its true that the accomodation is free and of course your electric bills and water bills are free too...you only have to pay your food allowance 150 dollars per month can sustain your daily needs...just ask regarding your transportation if its free.. theres no tax here..i hope this is informative to you.

get a visa and make 1600 a month at mcdonalds in america.

800 USD a month isnt worth moving to saudi arabia.

Hi Asim,
The average salary for a recent grad is about 8,000-15,000 SAR
3000 SAR is VERY LOW salary for an engineer.

I think your salary ranges for Saudi Engineers not for foreign Engineers

It depends on the nature of the work, civil engineers not like electrical engineers, working in oil & gas sector not like working in construction sector, unfortunately in general but not always it depends on your nationality also

As I told it varies, but in general I think 3000 S.R as a basic salary is good start

to have single room here in khobar you need at least 1000 S.R accommodation allowance

Unfortunately a lot of companies measuring the value of the person according to the nationality, not in Saudi Arabia to be honest but in all arab countries.

Monetary wise, I don't feel there's anything bad in that. Else people from those places (first world countries) wont come in this part of the world and spend their valuable times.

I just feel Bad the way Black Skinned people are treated and looked upon.
