I am going through an interview process for a management position for Saudi Arabia. I am a civil engineer with almost 20 years of experience and I would like to know how much I should ask for a salary. What salary per month plus benefits should I ask for?
Moving from where I am today, where I have a very good life quality, would be a great sacrifice for me and for that I think it should be compensated with a very good package.
I´m married with 3 small children.
Is a USD 15k to USD 20k per month plus benefits acceptable or would it be outrageous?

It is a very good package but if you are already getting 10k to 15k in your home country, i would say don't come here.
Stay there.

1) Wherever you are now, the prices and the overall cost of life in KSA is 3-5 times higher. Hence multiply your current salary accordingly - just to keep same life quality
2) This country is very, VERY uncomfortable for life and unfriendly to °µÍø½ûÇøs. The ONLY reason to move there is money. So adjust your expected salary accordingly
3) On top of salary - request housing allowance - 150-200K SR per year minimum
4) Request a car - must have there
5) Even if all your requests be satisfied - think twice, do you need it or not. I wouldn't recommend anyway.
