2. Do you know the current situation there with the potential war and attack?

Thank you very much.
What they're offering you is almost 38K SAR per month. I was making a lot more than 120k EUR and was offered less than 38k SAR per month. The recruiter gave me confidence that I was at the absolute highest of grade 5, and that they couldn't go any higher.

Your situation, I would say they're trying to lowball you. It's up to you, but you can put your foot down and ask for at least what you're making (or more).

Thank you very much for your reply. The salary 113k euro they offered to me already included allowances, meaning base is only 28k SAR. Did you manage to negotiate the salary higher than 38k SAR eventually or did you reject the offer? Thank you.

Hi, everyone.

Does anyone knows the salary for a Specialist level? Being more specific, I am interested in the GRC (Governance, Risk, Compliance) area.

Thank you!

Hi Neo. Salary offers are based on what you made in you’re making in your current position.
There are plenty of posts on the various threads that go into the comp plans.
give them a search and most of your questions will be answered.
cheers,

Thank you for your answer.

I understand that the offer is usually 25% * ur salary, but to provide an overview...

I had a first contact with the HR and the interviewer gave me a couple days to consider if the offer worth it or not. However, I work on a audit/consulting company (big4), so the salary is far (in a bad way) from the regular market, as you may know. And there is a plus that I am from Brazil, so 25% on top of my salary is ridiculous.

I was thinking on making a counter-proposal and see if it works, but it would have to be a value that's worth it to me and obviously not far from the others. I want a base so I can give my arguments and see if it works, but could not find anything yet.

I believe Specialist would be a grade 3 role with a salary 16,000 SAR per month.

Any news/progress on '24 headcount at all?

Have EOY reviews/bonus chats been had now, wondering if HR are still caught up with that atm?

Thanks

1) As of the beginning of last week, HC was still not approved for most roles.

They could be open or they could have candidates to fill them, but are awaiting offers. Once the headcount is approved, the postings will go up as fast as the recruiters can manage it. There are a lot of managers eager to staff up for the year. They just need their budgets approved.

2) The bonus process has begun. All EOY evaluations are with HR for review. Typically the bonus level is announced in early Feb and then paid in Feb or March. Can't tell you whether that will affect postings. If it does, then I'd imagine those positions would start going online in q2.

Hope that helps.
HI there, do you know if headcounts have been approved yet? There are quite a few of us who are still waiting for written offers.

Hi,

I see no one talks about pension benefits. Is this something Neom contributes to?
thanks

As info, you only get the match if you complete the contract.
After either signing your second contract or after 5 years (I can't remember which) the match can go up to 10%.

Hello,

I received an offer of 40 k sar per month, for manager this is marginally lower than my current company. I am not sure which grade this is or whether this is a fair compensation?

Hello ?

Did you finally join and I am in a similar situation where I have received an offer of 40 k per month marginally lower than what i am at now. Now sure which band or grade I fall into though ? Can you help what might be the best thing to do ... I am also with a big 4 so on the lower side of market rates I suppose.
