I Got A Job In Saudi Arabia But Am Scared To Make The Move by temmybaba(m): 11:07am On Dec 31, 2024
Hi guys...

So I got a job in Saudi Arabia as a heavy duty equipment electrician 2years contract but renewable but am very scared to make the move cox of the fear of the unknown...

Firstly I work with a reputable company here in Nigeria in the maritime sector as a FTE and I get approximately 400k monthly and I am being offered a salary of 3500sr(1.3m) for the Saudi Arabia job. I will only visit my country once in a year, am not married and am 33, n pressure of marriage dey my neck.

Though accomodation and flight expenses will be catered for by the company but I don't know if it's really worth taking the move though I don't know the cost of living in saudi Arabia.... I don't know if you have a saudi Arabia experience.. please I need your inputs...

Thank you very much

Move to Saudi Arabia... It's one of the country that doesn't tax salary, so you're potentially looking at earning equivalent of 3-4 years Nigerian salary in 1 year of working in Saudi Arabia... Plus the new experience will boost your experience and CV a lot and will give you a lift if you want to travel to Europe from there. I doubt if you will want to after the experience.

Just ensure you give the job your 100%... Do you work well please...

As for marriage, make sure you marry someone with at least a bachelor's degree... No go look yansh and breast take choose wife o else you will regret your life. And yes, you can come back to marry in 2 years, if there's hope of you retaining the job for more years, and from there you can easily move to Canada/Germany/UK.

I don't need to tell you about Tinubu and the damage he's going to cause the country and how that will affect whatever income you think you are earning now in Nigeria.

Run while you still can but make sure the job is legitimate before making your final decision. No go quit your job now only to find out the job is a scam. If possible take a 2-3 weeks leave from your Nigeria job and go resume in SA. If everything is legit, send your resignation letter from there.

Wish you all the best

In my own opinion that salary is small, look at it in terms of your expenses in that country.
If you really possess verifiable experience as an heavy duty equipment electrician. You have a lot of options and you can bargain more.
Infact you stand a better chance I Australia with better future prospect.
My opinion anyway

Hope you have considered accommodation, feeding and transportation over there? The salary maybe more than your current earning but consider the expenses also.

the highlighted part calls for a review bro.....as far as I'm concerned , meeting Nigerians should even be one of your topmost priorities while in a strange land.....Not all Nigerians are wicked as u assume bro; wickedness is inherent in all races and tribes.........The one thing I'm sure u should try to avoid is to be seen in public with their women or girls or even to engage in public use of alcohol or clubbing sef.....Baba their men fit place u as target ooo...

From my experience that salary is poor. It's the wages of an unskilled laborer in the middle east. I believe you got the job through an agency right? If yes, they have short changed you.

First one middle East.....not a great place for me
Let them do their own job

Secondly....the wage is just too low
That's about 750 USD per month

Why should a Nigerian go outside
Like export his brain,body and life for 750 USD per month

If the guy got brain

He can do that 750 USD comfortably here exporting only the soft side of his skill
Not himself as a whole

Better look for some other European countries than a place like middle East for work

Did you say 1.3m? That salary is extremely low, equivalent to less than $900. Considering the cost of living, that amount might not be sufficient. I strongly advise you to conduct thorough research before making any decisions."
