Hi
I am an Engineer with 5yrs experience and have been offered job in Saudia with family visa. Salary will be SR 5,000/- per month and Housing allowance SR 15,000/- per annum. Can anybody guide me whether it is enough package for us (Couple and small kid) or not? Also tell some rough figures for main expenses like rent with furnish, Food, Utilities etc.

it depends about ur nationality my friend,, if u r a western u should have been offered more than that.

Thats too little for an expat Engineer with family.
You need to bargain for at least SR 10K basic
