The offer questionnaire is basically asking for final details which go into the written offer. I recently did this (last month) and got the written formal offer 1 week after the questionnaire. I had already received a verbal offer a few weeks before. After the written offer, you can negotiate and the recruiter will have some authority to go to a certain amount for the base salary. Over that, they will need to go back to Saudi HR for approval and that will take time but depending on your expectations and offer provided, you can decide best course of action. My medical request was after I signed written offer so I would just be wary of doing the medical before agreement on numbers. Since they make you pay medical out of pocket first (did it this month and cost >$3k for me and my wife. Would be more for you since you’re coming from out of Calgary ) and reimburse you later, I would get aligned on numbers first. Hi, thanks for your insightful response. I'm also in an offer negotiation phase where recruiter didn't offer much increase. After seeing your post, I am hoping to go back to her and request to consult back to Saudi HR for an increase of 15% to 20% in base compensation. Did you also go this route? How much % increase did you request and did it end up meeting your expectation? How long did this all take? I would really appreciate any further insight and advice. Thanks! |

Hi All,
I'm in the same boat and found the conversation fruitful. I'll appreciate if you can help providing the information/feedback.
1. I'm from UK with British Nationality (Pakistan Origin), 20+ UK experience as a software developer and IT digital technical/enterprise Architect in large enterprises and public sector. Currently working as a Chief Architect/Head of Architecture. In addition, I have PhD in computer sciences from UK University, CITP (Chartered IT Professional) from BCS (British computer society), TOGAF (The open group Architecture forum) Certified, BCS Certified Architect (Pracioner), Cloud (AWS, Azure) experience / certified and couple of other certifications/trainings.
I got selected as a Digital Architect in Aramco, submitted my documents and now waiting for the offer. Please guide, how much they will offer for the position and what should be an expectation based on similar posts for expats.
2. It was mentioned about applying in USA. Is there a route to apply in USA as we need work permit to work in USA.
Many Thanks in advance.
Dr. Hassan
