o all:
I am a senior computer programmer joining Aramco long term, not as a regular employee but as an IT Consultant. I am a US citizen with wife and a 12 year old kid. I would be appreciative if someone could provide me following answers.
Please keep in mind that I am a Consultant and NOT a regular Aramco employee.
A. How much would the rent be near Aramco compound (within or outside) for a 3 bedroom apartment/villa ? Would prefer furnished, though.
B. My daughter needs to start 7th grade in US school. Can she do that considering I am not a regular Aramco employee, and if yes how much would the fees be?
C. Would there be a chance of Aramco making me a permanent employee down the line?
D. I would need the answers above as I need to make the decision whether to take the consulting job or not. Thankfully, I have a cushy job in US but the taxes are killer as you all know.
thanks in advance.

A. I cannot answer this one, but hopefully someone can. Do you have your offer yet? It should say whether they are going to provide you housing inside Aramco. If you're inside Aramco, your daughter could possibly attend Aramco schools. B. If you have to live outside the compound: The International Schools Group Dhahran has an American curriculum. You can look at their website and contact them for school information. www.isgdh.org/C. It's a possibility, but no one could say that for sure. D. bless as you make this decision. Do you mind if I send your email address to someone who shows people places to live outside Aramco?

Thank you very much, vpainter. Yes, you may go ahead and pass my email to the person who shows people places to live outside Aramco. However, it depends if I take the contract or not as the "offer" is a lump sum amount where I would have to manage everything from that. And thanks, I really need 's Blessings to make the right decision for my family and myself.
