o,
I recently received an offer from Aramco. However, I have changed jobs since I sent my payslips to Aramco. The offer that has been made is obviously based on my earnings with my previous employer.
I have been with my new employer for about 2 months now with a higher pay.
I am thinking of sending my current payslip to Aramco with a view to getting the base salary reviewed.
Any suggestion would be welcome.
Thanks
Teeboy

I had a similar discussion recently and it boiled down to three scenarios:
1. Aramco offers you a higher salary;
2. Aramco sticks to the initial offer; or
3. Aramco rescinds the offer entirely.
It's a risk management decision and at the risk of oversimplification, you can compare the impact of the three options, as likelihood is largely unknown. Is your new salary high enough to justify jeopardizing the opportunity altogether when you take the benefits and potential tax implications into account?

I would suggest to talk to your recruiter first and then proceed from there, you can search on this forum and if I remember correctly, there were couple of cases where people resubmitted their pay slips after they got annual raise and got the revised offer but decision is yours and nobody can guarantee the outcome.

If you make a counter offer, one of three things will happen:
1) They will increase their offer
2) They will keep the offer unchanged
3) They will revoke your offer
It can go any way and depends on several things such as the number of qualified candidates for your position, your skill set compared to the actual job, communication ability and sometimes it even just comes down to individual personalities.
Another factor is whether the offer they have made has a negotiating range that has already been approved. If they need to go back for reapproval of your counter offer, that has a better chance of being revoked.
Unfortunately there is no hard and fast rule.

I was able to have my offer adjusted. In my case I supplied paperwork that showed that my total annual compensation was higher than what was reflected in a monthly paystub.
As mentioned by others, you are taking a risk when you send back a standing offer; there's no way of knowing whether it will work in your favor or blow up in your face...

Hi OP.
I can only suggest :idea: you to make a request in a kind manner along with proper proof and then await for the consideration by SA.

Thanks for your responses. I contacted my recruitment contact and, after reviewing my current payslip, was told that their offer is still compeive, even when compared with my new pay. So no increase and I have decided to accept it.

I had a similar thing happen to me this year. I changed employers right after receiving an offer from Aramco. I did submit my payslip for my most recent job, but I didn't do it to initiate a counter-offer, it was required as part of the Aramco Background Investigation. So if you have not cleared the BI yet, then you will likely have to submit it anyways.
