Reply to: day rate for Saudi

[Old Greg]

What is a good all in day rate to work in Saudi?

Anyone been recently can comment on costs?

Good rate for what work?

[FIERCE TANK BATTLE]

3000 USD/day, body armour, two minders at all times, no passport retention, exit visa prestamped.

carry passport and 5000USD cash at all times in case you need to exit the kingdom fast.

You joke but I'd do it

I was on about $9000 month tax free plus accomodation, in compound , but cost me about $1000 a month in restaurants.
3 month contract just for the experience.
I needed to leave the country once a month so went to Beirut.
I did it for the adventure.
I could have worked in Switzerland and paid tax and made more money.

Idea for a new thread: "My client has said they're driving me out to the desert to give me a days notice. Can I expense the travel?"

or "If I get chained to the client's own radiator am I inside IR35?"

BYOR to be safe.

Preferably an oil filled one an wheels so you can still get to the bathroom.

Is it worth telling people what you do. Rates for Testers to Solution Architects are as likely to vary widely over there as over here...

I usually reckon general requires 9 rubbish posts to get 1 good one. Sad to see B/C has sunk to that level.

So am I and I will take a VERY dim view if I see this going on again.

cheers

Oh? Bugger. Haven't looked for a long while. When I was active on there the rates were comparable to working here or less so gave up with it.

[BrilloPad]

lol

come on folks, I know this forum is full of mickey taking, is there really no hope at all of getting some reasonable rates/costs estimates out of anyone? lol I guess not

Have a look on gulftalent and compare the rates. I think you'll be very disappointed.

The days of massive rates for gulf work is long gone.
