Dear Br. Syed..
I know this is too late a reply.. Hope you've not accepted the offer.. It is pretty low.. What is assume from accommodation is either the company might give you a sharing accommodation with a fellow colleague or 3 basic salaries.. You cannot get a house in 7500 Sr.. especially a family flat.. Yearly bonus is just a lucrative offer.. Not worth...
I suppose if you are just planning to come individually and stay like that for earning purpose, then you might be able to save a few.. but not that much..
Rest is for you to decide..
All the best..
Totally agree, to bring your wife you must:
1- Salary not less than 3500 SAR I think.
2- 4 years university degree approved from Saudi cultural consular in your country.
3- University-degree job title on your Iqama, like programmer, system analyst,... but not worker, teacher, seller, sales representative.
Don't believe there is a salary increment in Saudi and this number will not be able to survive you alone.
