Hello,

I have an offer to work in Senegal, but i am not sure if that is interesting in terms of salary, so i would love to hear your opinions about it.
The position is in Dakar, and the salary would be 450000 Francs CFA per month.
I would be moving alone over there, and would have to take care of everything myself (accommodation, food...).

I would really appreciate if someone could give me a clear idea on my situation, cause i do not know what to expect.

Thanks,

RF

That seems a little tight. I spent a week in Dakar in February, scouting opportunities. I looked at the prices for rent, food, taxi.

Here's an example of a studio apartment listed for 350,000 CFA.
