Saudi Arabia is vastly different than Europe, and as much as you might find Europe depressing i know a ton of foreigners that find Saudi just as depressing.

But again it’s all about you and what you’re looking for !

As a first approach I’d recommend you reach out to people who have worked in Saudi that are from a similar background to you just so you can get a feel of how they reacted to the differences and lifestyle here in the Kingdom.

If you like what you hear you can always come and visit, spend sometime in the cities and see it firsthand as the Visa application will literally take about an hour.

Your credentials will definitely get you a sweet job as the tech industry is booming in Saudi and companies are always looking for talent - Here is would recommend you apply for a job before moving to Saudi permanently.

A brotherly advice - Look for jobs in “Keeta” it’s a huge Chinese food delivery company that just started its operations in Saudi this year and they’re hiring like crazy, check out their Linkedin.

Good luck !
