You must excuse me. A very interesting squadron of pigs is just flying overhead.

I look forward to hearing from all those teachers earning SR37,500 a month, plus benefitrs, in KSA.


Once again, you have serious comprehension problems. Is English really your first language?

Just because you were (rightly so) paid peanuts in the Kingdom, it doesn't mean everyone else is a bottom feeder. Smile

Hearing from all those teachers? Expect a flood of emails soon, with scanned employment contracts. Look forward to you writing up the results. Wink


Yeah sure

I was fortunate in that when I took my family I was working for Government Institutions and they did all the legwork for me !

Like scot47, I'm also wise enough to sign a contract with a contracting company who does all the legwork for me.

Substitute "lucky" for "wise" and it covers me. Also, I am satisfied with the salary and benefits I signed up for, if others are getting SR37,000 a month, good luck to them. Why do people sweat so much about the salaries of others? If your salary offer was good enough to get you to sign a contract, what effect do other people's wages have on that?

I don't envy the envious.

My contractor has delivered on everything so far except the family visa stuff, where they were completely out of their depth.

Anyway, I did it myself in just over two weeks - the good thing is, since I took care of it, I've been able to help other teachers through the process.

Would I take a paycut for a totally competent contractor?

Absolutely not. Very Happy
