Hello there
I hope all is doing well.
I am from Lebanon and looking to move to KSA.
I did an interview today in Lebanon and I got offered the following:
I will be teaching in a school in Riyadh.
The school will fully cover: housing, transportation, tickets, and medical insurance + paid summer vacation.
The contract is for 2 years and it can be renewed.
Salary is 7875 riyals per month.

What do you think? Shall I accept.

How's life in Riyadh? Is it cheap or expensive? How much do you think I would spend per month i.e. for food + internet fees

Thanks.

I think you should take all the information we gave you last time and apply what you learned to THIS offer!

Best of luck

It's way different.
I thought maybe life is more expensive in Riyadh.

Thanks for your wishes

We DID help her--spent quite a bit of time and effort just a week or two ago giving her information/suggestions about a different job.

Forgive me if we don't feel like doing it all over again. All she has to do is take what we said about the earlier job and apply it to this new offer. VOILA! She has her information.

Simple?

If they offer you housing and everything else paid, then I would say if you'll be making more money in Riyadh then you should take it. Life is extremely cheap here. Only thing I found was extremely expensive are electronics. It's a good offer especially if your coming from Lebanon. It would be good to know where you will be living before hand because houses here in Riyadh are extremely crappy, and know if you'll have roommates or not.

Downside, life completely sucks here. If money will make you happy, then go for it.

Best of luck!
