What do you think of this job offer ?

I am a graphic designer, I got an offer from Saudi Arabia, the salary is 1500 $, in my country my current salary is 550 $ which is too low of course, they will pay for the visa, accommodation, all rents, and transportation, and I will try to negotiate about the food too, because I want to save some money, I know this offer isn't even average, I know but in my country the salaries suck, so I have to travel.

    I hope you're talking about a weekly or preferably daily rate. Yes, there's a lot of money in Saudi Arabia. But if you're good at what you do, stick to your guns and negotiate for what you believe is a fair price. Don't go overboard because they will pull out of the deal - I have experience with this. But a bit more is no problem. They always lowball coming into an offer.

    Hello

    Before you go check the length of the contract (You do not say)? If a year check about taxes when you return home. Here in the U.K it is now, you have to work abroad for a minimum of 1 year or you paid normal U.K Income tax on when what you earned. This stopped a lot of students who went "Fruit Picking" for 6 months in another country

    It's just 7 hrs ago that you asked the same question. Are you bored?

  • Sounds great, only downside is you have to live in Saudi Arabia.
