Hello I have accepted a job in Al-Khobar and will be traveling when all the visa work is done. I have a few questions looking for some answers. Is a salary of 60,000us good for the economy over there? Also comes with fully furnished home, car, and bonus plan. Also have children bringing with and want to know schools that are suggested? Is it hard for wife to get work over there if no degree? Answers would be great. Looking forward to the adventure.

Hi,

If you are bringing kids I'd suggest you'd need the company to cover the costs of an international school.

Worth making sure your package includes enough for a decent home and an SuV along with schooling, medical, holidays and flights home. Lots of companies only pay an allowance for all these things and sometimes you can get a shock when you find how far the allance will or will not stretch!

All the best.
