me and learn me new things and products and it will beneficial for me money vise and experience wise. But they also want me to sign a four year bond, meaning to say , after signing the bond i should not resign from company other wise there is penalty and i would have to pay some good amount of money if i do so. I wanted to move to UK and i may get good opportunity there too but as this is period of downturn i may face problems there but i can manage because i am single. So thing is i am confused between staying here with my current employer and sign four year bond or move to UK.? Staying here means i may able to make money and make some more after i get experience in new product and moving to UK means i will get opportunities like learning there culture and different cultures and improve my self in alot of things and getting new experiences in life. I know some people may suggest to move to UK after 4 years with my current employer but i am not getting any younger. I want to do things and experience things and take risks while i am still single. And it will be alot difficult for sure if i have family on my own. I am in software and the new product the employer want me to learn and invest is SAP which is higly renowned around the world. Experience in that product means good money and good job opportunities. And one should understand that work experience in country like UK is also too demanding and the doors for improvements there are alot because working environment there in UK for sure is professional. So what to do? And tell me about the bond and how it works in Saudi Arabia. If i do sign and try to break after a year or so , will i face the penalties for sure? What other penalties can be other than paying money? Please advice and i really need it.

I would highly suggest signing the bond no one can even find jobs anymore and you will gain great experience plus many times if you find a good job and tell them the bond u signed they might pay it or part of it plus this way you have the option of staying with your current employer or paying the penalty and moving elsewhere Best of luck

Well I really have no idea what kind of penalties you could face if you broke your contract, that all depends on what is in the contract so be sure to read it well. Typically in Saudi they will either hold a month or 2 of your pay or take a small percentage out of serveral months of your pay, again depending on the wording of your contract and you get that back at the end of your contract but if you brake your contract you will not get it back. I would suggest asking them for a 1 or 2 year contract instead of 4 then in a year or 2 you can see what the economy is like and if you think you have a better chance somewhere else or if you want to stay here. Good luck to you!

Hey, First Have you done istakhara . UK is a really awesome opportunity but as stated before you in your 30s, it will take time to get yourself settled in the UK and go by their rules and regulations . Down here in KSA I am pretty sure you know every street by street rule and regulations and I know you have a huge family down here and so. And due to the economic crisis everyone is having a problem finding a job and opportunities all around the world. I suggest that you stay in KSA , sign for the 4 year bond . And mashallah your boss wants to invest in you that is like a hell of a good opportunity. And hey you can always take a two week vacation and visit the UK and learn their culture and all what you like to do there. You should be happy you have a country and be proud of it. But all of that is my advice you should balance things out and see which place is better for you (imagine the scale :UK and benefits in one and KSA and benefits in the other )you decide yourself
