Successes in your career in Saudi Arabia

Everything is well allhumdullah

If you are in HR...every day is a challenge to survive...

The problem with Saudi Arabia is not the work which is a problem but the process you have to undergo to get your permit and salary is so time consuming and will be frustrating for a beginner. There doesn't seem to be any solution and Saudi employers don't care.  Hope I caN receive advice regarding this.

Alhamdulillah everything is good

Hi All

I m living in Saudi Arabia for the last 5 years and I wanted to share my experience living in Saudi Arabia.

I worked in small IT company based in riyadh as a technical support engineer, today I would like to share my experience with my work employer.

1)  Firstly I would like to share my experience of being in such a bad company unfortunately.

The current company where I’m working they hired me five year back.
As per my contract they did not fulfill what they promise me in my contract offer letter, when I reached Saudi Arabia the company changed their words and what ever written in contract is not fulfill.

So I suggest everyone who wants to come Saudi Arabia don’t come here unless you have trust for anyone who wants to hire you , I think some people are good but I did not faced anyone like this here no human living here, no one is human here they are animals they treat everyone here as slave and think that if they have money they can buy anything.


Thanks

Working in Saudi Arabia since the past 3 years, I have learned a lot about my trade that is electrical engineering.  There are a lot more things I am yet to learn. So, I keep my focus on my profession and keep learning more and more. Benefited with the time I have here, I keep studying, reading technical magazines, searching on google anything and everything concerned with my trade.

I just want to share my experiences in abroad, particularly in Brunei & Saudi Arabia. Working abroad is a big sacrifice because we will be away from our love ones, but for reasons of our children future specially in their education, we overcome homesickness thinking of their future. Majority of Expat strongly face challenges to face bullies of bosses everynow & then. I have learned & experienced that workers leaved their company due to bad bosses. Usually bosses imposed the principle of "the boss is always right". And I am one of them, I leaved my Company due to bad bosses. If you think you are right, insist and fight for it, even it means your termination. That's it.

i am in KSA since last two decades. there was many ups and downs in my life. But surely i liked to work with Saudis than with any other foreigners. if we are honest and lucky to have a God-fearing Saudi sponsor, your future will be in safe hands.

I have spent 5 years in KSA and i cannot complain. If you will find a friendly and smart way how to deal with international working environment and local people you can spend in KSA more years without any problem and you can find a lot of new friends.

Hi! I was saddened upon reading your post and i cant help to wonder why you have let your self locked in for 5 years in that situation. I believe you can always look and apply in other company once your contract is done. Hoping for the best in your career, Clara.
