Just qurious what kind of role you are interviewing for to expect the company to bend their rules for you... there are literally thousands of people trying to get here...

Promotions are not that easy to get. I know many hardworking people who have been with neom for more than 2 years and have not been promoted yet. Lateral movement is often also a challenge - your current boss has to release you, plus you are not allowed to move to a different department during your first year, also this move should only be to an identical job grade, and after you move to a different department you are not entitled to get a promotion or raise for at least a year following the move.

Hello everyone! and thank you for all the information. I have not yet finished reading all the information. As far as I know, Europe and UK have 220V-240V. Some webs say KSA has 110V-127V and others say 230V.
Copied from the Internet:
The country currently utilises a dual-voltage power distribution system. In residential and light commercial buildings the Kingdom uses 127 volts, whereas 220 volts is required in for larger commercial and industrial applications. With more than 70% of the world now using a 230/400 volt distribution system, the government approved plans in August 2010 to move the country to a 230/400 volts system.

I have questions regarding two topics:

1. Could anyone already in Neom or Oxagon confirm the voltage and frequency in the basecamps? Plug type G // 230V supply voltage // 60Hz frequency. Is that correct?
2. Planning to go to Oxagon and analyzing in Google Maps. What are the brick-and-mortar buildings near the cabins? Are they office buildings or residential apartments? Is the cabin a temporary residence or permanent?

Thank you and all the best!

Hi everybody!
If we go to the cabins, will it be later (1 year or so) a relocation with all my furniture and non-essential stuff from my current country of residence?
Any recommendations for relocation companies to send all the stuff from Europe to KSA? Without pets would you recommend expatlogistics.com or other companies?

Thanks for this response. It seems if that's the case then one should go there with the intent to solely do a task and not actually grow with the organization (which I hoped to do). At least it's a chance to put it on the CV I suppose.

Definitely. Thats what I am saying. Just a 25% uplift is not attractive to move to Saudi but I understand it depends from person to person.

Don't forget about the fact that 99% of your living costs are covered and quality of life can be a lot better depending on your habits and hobbies. Also, NO TAX!

Hi all, I have recently joined this forum and there is wealth of information regarding NEOM.

Thank you all for sharing the information.

I live in Melbourne and my partner has accepted an offer from Neom. Currently, at the visa processing stage.
I am hoping to join after few months.

My question was around spouse employment. I have read somewhere in the thread about NEOM - 3 month temporary program) which has capped salary, but I am keen in full time employment at NEOM.
I am currently working as a Product Owner in digital transformation project at Melbourne. I have found similar roles advised on NEOM career website which match my profile.
I have tried applying but I haven't heard back anything.
During the visa process, the visa agent advised that a spouse doesn't require to get degree attestion completed. But given that I am keen in working full time, is it better to get my degree attested?

Any spouse who has been offered full time employment at Neom? Please share your thoughts & experiences.

Thanks in advance for replying,

I came over as a spouse and then started working for Neom about 6 months later. The job application and onboarding process (even when already based here) was in my case still very frustrating and drawn out.
I received my dependent Iqama linked to my husband's before an employment offer. When the offer came through all I needed to do was have my degrees attested (I used CLS - capital line services based in Canberra, they just required payment and an electronic scan of my degree - not an original hard copy), have a blood test / chest x-ray (which was done locally at Neom) and set up a bank account.
if you do not get your Iqama first you may need to go back to Australia to apply for a work visa which could take a few weeks.
Once settled here your husband will be able to pass your CV on directly to appropriate teams which may make getting an interview easier. They definitely like hiring qualified spouses as we are already here and they don't need to find us housing.
Good luck happy to answer any other questions via DM

Is someone able to give an update on the accommodation situation at NEOM? I’ve got an offer and everything except I can’t progress to the next stage because I can’t bring kids with me… so I just have to wait for a miracle to happen to get places in the nursery and accommodation. Last time I spoke to the hiring manager, she said options were being looked at. I don’t want to keep hassling her for updates, I’m hoping someone on the ground can provide an update plz 🙂

I am in a similar situation that my wife has got a role and I'm trying to get a role (I should with my work experience).

What visa did you first go out on originally?

cuffer

Hi there...just recently been offered a role...apparently theres ways to speed up the onboarding...i.e. work visas whilst waiting for Iqama...what else does HR need? Degree certification? Medical? Proof of salary?? Bit of clarity on that would help me prepare and also...any UK expats out there, what routine do people usually follow given the 30 or so days of holiday and 30 days working remote...assuming wanting to not pay UK tax and adhere to the 90 days rule

Cheers!!!

Sam1980 ...cant see your DM
