Diriyah Gate Development Authority
Hi all,
I'm a New Yorker in early talks with folks at DGDA in KSA. I was wondering if any expat has worked for or currently worked for them. I'm trying to do some research to aid in my decision on if it's worth it should I eventually get an offer. Thanks, BD |

Thanks, BD They're a very new organisation, set up to deliver the programs in the area they're named after. What sort of stuff would sway you either way. I don't know the inner workings but I can share some basics depending on what you want to know etc. |

We can correspond on here or WhatsApp if you are open to being my SME in KSA - regardless, im very appreciative. |

Thanks for the response. So pretty much I've told them my desired salary range (Minimum Range - 65,000 SAR -70,000 SAR, Mid-Range - 70,000 SAR - 75,000 SAR, Most Desired Range - 75,000 SAR - 80,000 SAR /Monthly), do you think this is doable or too much? This is outside all other benefits (relo, housing, education, medical insurance, etc) I am currently a Senior Project Engineer in NYC working on the biggest MTA capital project for the past 7 years.

Range sounds quite high. take 70k + housing (15k at a stab) + Education (you don't need but say 5k) + Medical (normal) + Flights = 90k all in. It's achievable I'd expect but depending on position / role. There is no work / life balance in these sorts of programs, expect to be busy one day at the weekend and expect to spend your time battering consultants and contractors 24/7 - sometimes for good reason and sometimes just because it's what everyone else is doing. |

Not much has happened. I keep getting contacted every couple weeks with them telling me that they are still very much interested but dealing with bureaucratic hurdles. I've gotten a new job and a new title since then so I'm not really counting on DGDA, unless they make up their mind and come correct with an offer I can't pass up.
