السلام عليكم
I really need advice from people here as I don’t know what to do next, I’ve been job hunting in Riyadh for the past 9 months and finally got 1 offer after only 3 interviews. The problem is:
Salary: 3,000 SAR/month
Job description is super vague
Looks like I’d be doing the work of 2–4 people
I don’t mind working hard, but 3K feels really low for surviving in Riyadh.
My concerns:
Rent + food + transport alone seem like they’d eat most (if not all) of that salary
Feels like they’re lowballing because I’ve been unemployed
Questions:
Should I accept this just to “get in” and gain experience( I have 2 years of prior experience)?
Has anyone here survived on 3K in Riyadh realistically?
Is it possible to negotiate this offer higher (and how would you do it)?
Are there any minimum wage rules in Saudi Arabia for private sector jobs?
TL;DR:
Unemployed for 9 months (2 YOE), got a vague job offer in Riyadh for 3K SAR/month that seems underpaid and overloaded. Should I accept, negotiate, or keep searching?
