Hello Expats,
I just got an job offer from a company called mgs-tech.
I am a SAP consultant with 8+ years of experience.
I am married. They offered USD3000 with no relocation cost for family for next 1 year..
Is this worth considering? Please let me know your views...

My view is that it is too low to consider a move with the family. And it also depends on what else are they offering? are they covering iqama costs and medical insurance for the family? if not, then it is very very low.

If you are planning to live with family you may incur 8000-10000 SAR per month based on lifestyle on rent/food/other costs...so the offer is very low but if you want to live alone you may save half of it by sharing accommodation and cooking at home...

8 years experience in SAP , means you are a senior consultant> I think you can get better offer in many places in the world.
