fair call and would never argue the fact that from the outside the perception of life in saudi is awfull.
however, living here life is not so bad with a big social life and fantastic weather, although it certainly won't suit the moaners or worriers.
For those earning 60K they can add another 10K for each child boarding plus a whole wack of other bonuses and benefits.

If you have mortgages to pay and kids to educate there are far worse ways of earning that much cash. The tax year thing that soddim mentions is valid so you certainly have to commit enough time to make sure you cover a full tax year at least.
good luck
