I say, go for it! 50K SR sounds great to me. All I can say about Saudi, are the drivers over there, they're crazy.

it all depends on the size of the company, if very big try to get more money. Be prepared for no movie theaters, no alcohol, be prepared to live in a compound. Life in Saudi pretty much sucks man. Especially for your family your wife/daughter has to wear head wear. Try countries with a less strict Muslim law, Jordan...anywhere else in the world. But please update your info with were you live, are you employed, how old are you? you can always go to saudi for a couple years gain reputation and get a better job somewhere else in the gulf. Just to let you know there is alot of opportunity in the middle east currently its up to you if you want to struggle in the atmosphere of saudi arabia for a couple of years. Overall, i think saudi arabia's atmosphere/socail life is very poor, but i would always work there if i was desperate for a job, i would get it gain rep. and get out:)

That’s an excellent job position with a high pay. I would go for it if I was in your shoes. Btw : the people down here aren’t that bad after all.

50,000 a year or a month? wow!.. if its a month.. you are going to be living like a king.. No one makes 50k a month.. at least not normal middle class working people.. thats like 13,300.00 us dollars per month.. You can live easily off a 10th of that.. 10,000 per month easily and save the other 40,000.. who cares if there is no theaters ,alcohol, etc.. with that money, you can fly every weekend to paris if you want to.. GEEZ.. we'd all dream for a job like that..

Well as Mintee said 50000SR per month is excellent. Even if you don't really like Saudi you can afford to travel whenever you like and you can live here and save up some money and then go back to your home country and just retire and live on your savings. You could easily live on less than half of that salary with your whole family. And I do think that once you get settled in to Saudi you will be ok with the country too.

50K per month is definitely a lot of money here. If you don't live in an expensive compound, then you will save a LOT of money while you're here. Live a simple life here and take your money home.
