Reviewing my offer, have a few questions

sushiholic,

GC 15 is good. I came to Aramco with 30+ years experience, BS ChE and two graduate degrees, several patents to my name and came as a GC 15. Should have been higher, but I was eager to come so I could get in at least five years before retirement. GC is comfortable here - higher gets you more "default respect" at work, but most of the benefits stay the same even at higher GC.

Hard to say about the base offer - without specifics, it's hard to compare. There are a lot of modifiers, and of course we don't know the specifics of your current compensation. You can try to negotiate for higher base - it's not always successful, but it does sound like they are eager to hire you.

The Green Card could be an issue. I'm as US citizen, so don't have personal experience. But I do have friends here with US residency. They all pay taxes to the US, which I understand they must to keep their status. Even then, I think there are rules about how long you can be out of the US over a given period. At least one friend is in a similar situation to yours - he sent his family back from KSA to the States so they could apply for citizenship. Once they got citizenship, they re-joined him here. I don't know if he will let his residence permit lapse and reapply, but I think he was anticipating that his status would be withdrawn because he is out of the US for too long for a resident. He still pays US taxes, but I don't know what he will do if/when he loses status.

Bachelor housing for GC 15 is good on camp, but it's hard to say where you will go. Chances are better to end of on DH camp if you come on US payroll, due to the tax implications. I'm not sure where they are putting Global payroll GC 15 bachelors.
