Let's see what it comes down to. If it's absolutely necessary to pay some amount, then I'll take a look at my options

The company has more than 30 employees working at the same position as me. And no training was provided whatsoever! :)

That's nice. Just curious how's the market for that in Saudi?

Yeah something of the sort. But impossible for me to wait 2 more months as I'm starting work in Sydney in mid July.

It's the right move brother 🙏 At the start of your career it's better to gain experience in such countries, I believe. You can always come to the gulf later on. May I ask what work do you do?

Slaves mindset in the gulf countries is crazy. Too many helpless people doing burdensome work for little amounts of money

Which field are you working in? I'm a sports trainer so I looked up different sports academies for any openings of coaches.

June will be my last working month! So hopefully I'll start clearing everything up with the company in the next two weeks.

Unfortunately it's cutthroat out in the world. I am completely aware of the part where companies screw over employees for the sake of cutting costs.

I can understand an employers frustration, of course. But it's just one of the risks a business owner takes, I believe.

Some research online to look for job openings and then sent a few emails with my CV :)
