Post new topic

GuestPoster132

Hi All,

I am software professional with 9 + years of experience. I have been negotiating an offer with a Consulting firm. I am from India & I will be planning for relocating to Kuwait with my wife and kid.
I have been offered 1650 KD per month. Please suggest weather the same is good enough for a family of three (Wife & 1 kid). How much will I be able to save per month.
Can anybody guide and help me on this please..

Thanks

Hi , the amount is good, yet i donno if it is a fair pay for what you do, because i do not know what you do, is it oracle - mobile apps ....etc , yet with that amount you can afford to live a decent luxurious life to an extent, and still save up to 600-700 KD, if you live a regular high standard yet not much luxurious, you can save up to 900 KD assuming your kid will attend an Indian school,

Apartment rent would be around 350 - 400  KD   / month
Car installments 100-180 KD for a good brand new car / month
200 - 300 KD food budget /month depends on ur diet
200 KD extras   /month

and u can go for less than that if you want

schooling would be round 500-800 KD per year

No other benefits? housing - tickets - private Med. insurance ....etc ?

It all depends on what kind of life style you lead but you should be able to find a decent unfurnished apartment for about 250kd.

Please don't listen to man1234. He can't even spell employer.

man1234

Yes i added two e by mistake.But it is not a matter of how I spelt word. Me and DBA_BANGLORE both are working in same technology. I know how much he deserves, when I joined here employer offered me 2000 kd. He is still getting very high salary in India.
