Thanks for the reply, also is NCBS Mobily a good company. Is it Safe in Riyadh.

NCBS was founded in 2008 by parent company Mobily, a market leader in Mobile Telecommunication in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Mobily is the trade name launched in May 2005 by Saudi Arabia's second Telecommunications company, Etihad-Etisalat consortium The company, as the winning bidder for Saudi Arabia's second GSM licence in 2004, provides mobile telecom services nationwide, breaking Saudi Telecom's monopoly in the wireless business. The company launched 3.5G services on 27 June 2006 and 4G services on 13 September 2011.

I see it's a very good offer.
First: a strong company name in the Middle East 
Second: the salary is a good start in Saudi Arabia.
NOTE: No taxes, living here is not expensive ,People here friendly.

Dear friend, Asak,

Basically for beginners offer is  good and acceptable.

All the best.

Yours,

Dear Krishnav,
                      I think this is a highly opinionated subject and depends on your own spending habits and style of living.
I am a Total Rewards Senior Manager working in KSA so I will give you a bit of a professional opinion to help you make a decision,

Your package consideration should factor in your working hours, how much off time you have, and whether or not you might be eligible for overtime pay.

You should also factor in, how much experience you have in relation to the role. If you are very experienced and considered a subject matter expert, pay should be different from if you have 2-3 years of experience maybe.

Also, consideration should be given to where you want to live in Riyadh. If you want to live near to your work place, which is advisable since traffic and commute in Riyadh and specifically in Olaya are heavy; then you will probably pay high rent amounts as opposed living further away, thus taking a longer time to come to work.

Would this be a positive career move for you? i.e. would it add to your experience and profile? This is something to consider Vs your current employer as well.

Finally, the salary proposition given to you is considered competitive for similar level eastern expatriates that come to work in KSA. I have based this statement on an assumption that you have between 2-5 years experience in a similar type of role.

Best of luck
