Bayt.com’s recent polls reveal that KSA is one of the preferred places to work for professionals in the Middle East (33.9% of professionals from a global professional pool indicated it was their preferred place to work in the ME), closely following the UAE which secured 35.7% of the vote and led the pack. The KSA is especially alluring as it has traditionally allowed professionals to save a bit more of their monthly income compared to other countries across the region and has historically continued to accommodate a” hardship premium” in salaries even as the country’s infrastructure has grown to world-class standards and nearby countries like the UAE have ceased to price in any such allowances. The Bayt.com Salary Survey released early in 2008, shows that almost 20% of working professionals in the KSA save more than 21% of their monthly income, ranks the country in the 3rd place regionally in terms of savings right after Oman (where 36% of respondents save more than 21% of their income) and Bahrain (where 35% of respondents save more than 21% of their income).
KSA not only offers quality of work, it also is increasingly perceived to offer an attractive and stable quality of life. Bayt.com’s recent Top Industries survey, available on www.bayt.com indicates which industries are most in demand in the KSA market and which are perceived to offer the best salaries and best work-life balance.
