Which website is best way to apply?
Ya i want to know too
I applied on LinkedIn 1 year back.. I applied for dubai location. But the job was put on hold. I met the hiring manager in a coffee during my trip to dubai. Then yesterday i got a call from him telling me about the opening. No interview was conducted as i cleared it last time as well as straight away offer was given
Masha allah. Dream of every muslim to work in Saudi... Please pray istekhara salah for right suggestion
Bruhhhh dafaqq is this
Considering you have 9yoe, if you are able to crack senior engineer role at any big tech, you'll be able to get 1.5 Cr CTC in India only. Even after tax that's more than 10L/month in hand.
I would suggest moving only if you really want to live in Saudi, else money is not that good to consider changing countries. Do some prep and crack Google L5 equivalent roles.
Although cost of living is high I like the Saudi opportunity for you here
So would u make the move?
I would in a heartbeat, because of both the professional growth and a chance to redo certain things in my personal life.
Where did u start ur first job? Company

Saudi is a very expensive country. 27000 SAR is pretty good. But everything costs a lot offer there, starting from groceries and other basic stuff to luxury stuff. More than Dubai. Rent is not as high as Dubai tho. You should be able to maintain a decent life style over there
I was in the same situation in Jan for the dubai location, I put that offer on hold as I was expecting a baby. I connected with the recruiter again last month and confirmed the offer, joining them next month
Not sure about Riyadh, but I took the call to move with the flow.
In India you can easily get an offer if things don't work well there. There are pros n cons to both sides.
Guys as an Indian, if I work in Saudi or UAE, since they've zero tax, should we still pay in India since we're indian citizens or how is it?
📘 Tax Residency Rule (FY 2024–25):
To be Resident in India, koi bhi ek condition satisfy ho jaaye toh tu Resident ban jaata hai:
✅ Condition 1:
India mein 182 din ya zyada rahe ho kisi financial year mein.
OR
✅ Condition 2:
India mein 60 din ya zyada rahe ho current FY mein AND Past 4 years mein 365 din ya zyada India mein rahe ho.
⸻
🚨 BUT — For Indian Citizens working abroad:
Agar Indian citizen ho aur foreign country mein employment ke liye jaate ho, toh 60 din ki condition increase karke 182 din ho jaati hai.
👉 Matlab, ap tabhi Resident maana jaayega jab ap India mein 182 din ya usse zyada ruka ho ek financial year mein.
⸻
✅ So, agar ap • Saudi mein 9-10 mahine rehta hai, aur • India mein sirf 2-3 mahine har saal aata hai (less than 182 days) 👉 Toh tu NRI ban jaata hai income tax ke liye.
⸻
🔄 Har saal ka calculation alag hota hai • Tu har saal yeh dekhna padega ki India mein kitne din raha. • Agar har saal tu less than 182 days India mein hai, toh har saal ap NRI hi rahega.
🎯 Conclusion:
✅ Agar ap har financial year mein India mein 182 din se kam rehta hai, toh tu NRI maana jaayega. ✅ Apki Saudi salary tax-free hai India mein. ✅ Jo paisa qp India mein remit karta hai family ko – uspe bhi koi tax nahi lagega.
