resident doctor salary issues

sawadkar

hello guys in saudi arabia,

i am an mbbs doctor in india with 2 yr experience.

i gave saudi interview for resident doctor. got selected. they offered me a salary of 5280 basic pay + 400transportation+ two months salary as housing.

my main reason behind relocating to saudi arabia is to save money for 1 or 2 yr then come back and continue with my usmle.

so what do u think should i go or not. would i be able to save atleast 8lac in the whole year.

I believe that offered salary package for you is not suiltable and it will trap you.
Job offer, usually, must include:
1- Basic salary (depending upon your experience and workfield).
2- Annually, three basic salaries minimum as housing.
3- Monthly, 10% of basic salary as transportation allowance.
4- Work time max 48hrs per week as per Saudi Labor Law.
5- Annual ticketing and paid vacation.
6- Contractual terms renewable after one-year. So, u may not have to wait for 2 years for  any increments.
6- Other clauses as per Saudi Labor Law (to be mentioned.)

You may negotiate basic salary around 10 thousand SAR and finalise by considering aforementioned points.

Thank you very much for the reply.

I asked them for an increments but they refused.
So i let go of the job.  :(.

Any other way I can apply for a job.

ACCORDING to the salary they offered me I think I can only save 4000sar is it right plz correct me guys.

resident doctor in which subject? some subjects have time, others have less time. You can give your USMLE while staying here. In India/Pakistan USMLE without a good source of income is not possible.
