He came years ago to Saudi Arabia. Back then, all he had was zero experience. This gentleman worked hard to make a better practitioner out of himself. After a few years, as an Asian health specialist he realized that his salary came to a pause. Asians, even if they master what they do, face a scenario of limits, at certain stages, in the Gulf region.

He decided to move to Canada. There, he applied for the Canadian nationality while working for a private clinic for a fair monthly salary. He managed to obtain the Canadian nationality with some effort. A few months later, he decided to come back to Saudi Arabia. The offer this time was immense. The same person with the same qualifications and experience received an offer of SR 60,000 a month.

Some of you might be a little curious about the salary he used to earn before going to Canada. Well, he was paid SR 8,000 a month! Did I tell you he and his family traveled first class from Canada?
