Just out of curiosity - will the company provide accomodation and transportation OR are they expecting you to provide for your own accomodation and transportation with that 10K/m salary?

If it is the former then you can save ... but .. if it is the latter ... doable but will require a lot of tuna meals and roommates to share the cost of accomodation.

Good luck!

This is only 126000SAR per year. For a licensed engineer with 5 years experienced I would not accept this. You should be making AT LEAST 175000SAR per year, and that is if you are very desperate. I would not accept this offer even with accommodation. But everyone's situation is different and work is hard to find.

Good luck.

Yes I am wrong on this? It seems like a very little amount of money for this qualification.

I sense a minor hint of resentment towards my reply, care to elaborate instead of a post like that? lol

It doesn't have to do with resentment. That's my way of posting. People are paid mostly based on their passport color, that's all. A Canadian passport holder will get paid more than double that an Indian passport holder for the same job with the same set of skills and experience.
