I am looking for advice on a job offer i received.

The company in Riyadh is a government owned corporation and i will be based in Riyadh with the following offer:

Basic: SR 28462 per month
Transport: SR 1000 per month
Housing: Company provided or 3 months salary
Medical insurance provided by company
36 days annual leave
Annual flight tickets for the family

I am negotiating with the company to pay for the schooling for my two children as well.

I will be bringing my wife and 2 children aged 12 and 11 years to Riyadh with me.

Is it possible to save SR 15 000 per month with the above type of offer.

It's good enough...You can save well if you ain't planning to spend big on compounds for accommodation...

If you get schooling also, then you can almost save 20k

Certainly you can save as your target if not spending blindly. If more watchful, then more.

Hi,

Yes I'm sure you will save more than what you are expecting even if you don't get expense for the kids schooling.
