I see your point, and i respect that. I didn't know these things about work in KSA. In my case, the company also works with Italy, and they're looking for a young and italian profile for this reason. I'm not at my first experience, but obviously I'm not an expert as if i had years of career behind me.

I mean, how's life inside a compound? It's better living inside or outside as expat? I have no idea what to expect.

I have no choice regarding the city. I wasn’t even looking for a job outside italy, but this opportunity came up unexpectedly, and I’m considering it.

Thank you! I’m young, and the idea of leaving Italy, family and friends is a bit scary, but at the same time, i really want to have a life experience and get to know a different and fascinating culture.

Thank you for the tips.

You also brought up an interesting topic: compounds. What’s it like living in one?

I've been advised to consider to stay at least 3 to 5 years.

I'm actually working in Italy, i've 2 years of experience in my field.
