re: NEOM JOB DETAILS

If after the uplift, the figure is below the job grade, they'll likely either downgrade the job grade (but still expect you do the work of the original), or simply pull the offer. It's pretty black...

re: NEOM Community Thread - for all questions about living at NEOM

This.

I've been here almost 6 months now and have been told there are 700 people ahead of me in the queue to go to NC1. Best guess is that I *might* move some time in Q2 24.

New starters can...

re: NEOM Community Thread - for all questions about living at NEOM

There are dining halls in both NC1 and NC2, with expansions ongoing all the time - the NC2 dining hall is due an imminent expansion for example.

re: NEOM JOB DETAILS

Best advice as previously mentioned is to not get too hung up on the title - unless you're in the C-Suite, it won't always translate to your experience / skillset / previous titles held. As was also...

Re: NEOM - Degree Exemption Letter

For the last question, it's a no. This isn't a NEOM policy, it's a KSA policy. To sponsor your family for residency, you must have provided a properly attested degree. Without this, (at least last...

re: NEOM Job Thread - for all questions about jobs/working at NEOM

Afraid it doesn't really work like that. The salaries are based on bands applied to job grades, Lead, Manager, Senior Manager, Director etc. So what you could earn would be entirely based on the role...

re: NEOM JOB DETAILS

Yes, pretty much.

Not sure what you mean by after onboarding, but no, you can’t negotiate your package after you’ve been onboarded, and yes, the company expects you to stick to the employment...

It is. Take it or leave it my experience. Not heard of many if any people at all negotiating anything unless you're a very uniquely desirable individual going in to a C-Suite role that you've been...

re: NEOM Community Thread - for all questions about living at NEOM

Stock answer: it depends.

If it’s at the end of a holiday (Eid, Christmas etc) and people are coming back to work, it’ll be really busy. Otherwise it just depends how many people are flying....

re: NEOM Community Thread - for all questions about living at NEOM

This. NEOM have been saying for months now that there is no family accommodation and so are strongly recommending that people don't bring their families. New accommodation is being built, which is...

Re: NEOM - Degree Exemption Letter

I think people are getting confused and it's probably because of the similarity in name - also, I think the procedures have changed over the past 6-12 months. This is my understanding of how it works...

Re: NEOM - Degree Exemption Letter

See my post above. If you actually need an exemption, that’s not done until after you arrive but make sure everyone in your recruitment chain knows that it’s required so it’s not a surprise...

Just to add to the above,

Yes, you will get schooling paid up to (I think 60K SAR a year) per child in formal paid for education, on a pro-rated reimbursement basis.

Re: Accommodation Challenges in Neom (NC2)

Just to clarify - the reason it’s different one way vs the others is that there’s almost no roundabouts or flyovers on the roads here. Traffic sometimes has to go in the opposite direction to...

re: NEOM JOB DETAILS

Without discussing company policy, I can confirm that what pkingston says is absolute. It’s 2 days a month, use them or lose them. There’s no ‘chat with your manager’, the system will only...

re: NEOM Job Thread - for all questions about jobs/working at NEOM

That’s the hard part. As long as you pass the basic background check etc, you should be fine. It’s just a game of time and paperwork now.

re: NEOM Community Thread - for all questions about living at NEOM
