Dear all,

I have had an interview last week and got a verbal offer today. I was asked about my salary expectations. The guy mentioned that the offer will be slightly under my current salary. Even though there are some boni why should I go for it? I am getting a quite generous net expat salary at my current job so why should I go to the kingdom for less? Did I miss something?
Can please somebody help me with all these +xx%.
To make it easy:
Consider a base salary of x
What comes on top? (f.e.: x*0.25% for xxx).

Thanks a lot!

By writing a letter and re submitting their pay stubs after the offer has been received.

You got a response in a week which is very rare and it shows that the job you are being considered is very demanding so I believe they should at least match your current pay profile eventhough if it's higher than current market. Would you mind sharing which recruitment office you are dealing with and what facility and type of role you are being considered.

As per Aramco website, you can get 17 to 19% for your retirement saving as well as you'll get an expat allowance for home town visit per year which might be 8000$/adult and 6000$/kid( learned in this forum but not 100% sure. Aramco website talks about this allowance but not the specifics). On top of that don't forget about subsidized housing.
