So what i thought looks like its the reality. Obviously a tax free salary has to be looked at in that contact - - not having the government top slice you - may make up for the differences.

I'm also curious as to how they will go about doing background checks - i work for myself? A lot of the projects i work on are joint ventures setup purely to build the project and then a new company is formed to take over once built. So I'm not too sure who they are going to be trying to contact

Anyway - i will cross that bridge once the process gets to it - - still very early doors at the moment and I'm in a nice contract at the moment so not desperate to get it all done by tomorrow.

thanks all for your help

It may be that the previous advice of them adjusting your grade based on your pay is no longer accurate. I was told that it could only happen if your hiring group had the slot available or could swap roles with another group. So for example if you're offered a Manager role, but your pay is in the Sr Manager grade, they could only adjust you to the Sr Manager grade if they had a slot available or if someone else could swap.

This makes me think that the previous advice of grading up took place before a lot of roles got filled (and lots are getting filled as we speak). Now that more slots are taken, maybe there's less flexibility.

Of course, this is just me trying to interpret things so I could be way off as well.

I have read lots of posts about the length of time it takes but as there are lots of jobs advertised on the Neom web site I am wondering if I should just apply direct. Any thoughts or experiences appreciated.

One for the UK folks please. Can someone please tell me the uk tax rule for working outside the UK and not paying tax. I am aware of the ‘non-return’ for more than 90 days rule. However, when does this 90 day ruling start? Is it from the start of the new tax year (April 6th) or from the moment you leave the country and then for each rolling 12 months?

Thank you.
