Thanks for your comments.

Is there a preference working for a private owner vs. a corporate owner or managing company like execujets or NasJet in Saudi?

Right now, its almost at a point in the industry that if I wanted to fly airline jets, I'm gunna have to pay for a type rating on an a320/ b737. So if I have to pay for a hawker or citation or gulfstream endo, it's not much different. Right now with the cadet programs worldwide on the rise there are a billion a320 or b737 rated pilots all scrounging over the same jobs. Im just thinking about an alternative career path as lifestyle is my goal over flying wide body aircraft or working for a legacy airline.

I don't mind helping to get the cabin ready, or submitting my own flight plans or ordering fuel myself. It no big deal really. I would rather that than doing 8 sectors a day shuttling between point a and point b.
