What should be the permonth salary is for fresh Engineering Graduate?

Hello Asim Siddiqui.

Welcome to Expat.com!

So as to make it more visible, your post has been moved to the Saudi Arabia forum.

In meantime, do not hesitate to go through the other threads on Cost of living in Saudi Arabia.

Thank you,
Aurélie

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.

Thanks nimfa_sacay, but i have already declined the offer thinking the pay was too less. Now i Feel i should have taken the offer.

Hi

Its a good opportunity for a graduate. The experience will enable you to earn better in future. agree with Nimfa_macay

Good luck

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 got an interview call to attend and don't know how prepare. Please guide me ... I wish work in KSA.Also i'm recent mechanical engineering graduate looking for a job in oil & gas sector. Please please guide me....

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

How much can fresh mechanical engineer can expect? I am from India..
Also how much would be the expenses for a nice living in kingdom?

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

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.
