Well, the above salary is not only an insult, it is an act of 'crime' against teachers with an MA in ESL, especially if you have got blue/green eyes!. Laughing

Well, I am honest with you.
Because you do not have blue/green eyes, and your skin is brown with curly black hair, and may be you do not hold the RED/BLUE passport of Uncle Sam/Brown, they offered you that salary!

6000?????

Are you sure you have been approached by a Saudi uni directly or through a contractor?

6000 is not even acceptable by a non-anglo-saxon looking native speaker with no experience or TEFL- related cert. in a new dodgy language school in a rural part of SA( well! unless really really desperate).

Good luck!

P.S: number edited, sorry!
