I'm from USA. I got job offered in Riyadh. Company is paying me total package SR 35000 monthly plus family of 4 ticketing to USA and health insurance. Is this amount good with 2 kids tuition fees, accommodation, and living expense with monthly saving too? Please advise and help?

Ask for your kids tution fees to be covered...cost of living is cheap other than compound rent costs Also, its tax free, but i dont know about US citizens You will have good savings

As a US citizen u will have to go for compound in order not to feel strange. Compound costs average 100K per annum. School fees would be like 40 K per kid if u look for an international school This salary is more than perfect for Arab ppl like me who can live in an apartment with 25K but for u to feel not strange and ur family to feel comfortable that compound thingy would make ur salary not worth coming
