That's supposed to be 12,000, right? Because if it is 120,000, it is weird that your housing allowance is almost double of the basic salary.

..the basic salary is fine, but regarding on your housing allowance i think its too low for you.. if you can make a good deal or if you can ask for the housing allowance at least to be 18,000 per year. or higher than that. then that is acceptable.

good luck.

Welllllll its not a very good offer, being a medical officer you deserve much more than this. You should think about it deeply as you are coming here for 150K Pak rupees which is not a big deal for a doctor as I have many doctors in my family and none of them will ever come here for this amount.

Hi,
I am sorry i don't agree with others, Basic SR - 5600 is nothing If you are a qualified Doc then don't let down yourself. These days basic is no more issue just because of new rules & regulations everything is expensive day by day living is going up. Just for your info a normal 2 rooms appartment is not less than SR - 20,000 p/year. SR - 5600 is basic salary of a normal salesperson, Try to find out other job. there are many jobs in Saudi market check the websites like

and carry on. You will be in Saudi soon but with Basic not less than 10,000 to 12000. Wish you all the best.
