Hi Vijay,
I am based out of Linz and i can certainly relate to your confusion/Dilemma. If i put myself in your shoes, here is what i think
  1. I would look at whether i am comfortable with that money on monthly expenses for me and my family.
  2. I better negotiate as much as possible to get the best out of the situation.
For more you can contact me directly, and may be we can talk.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate it

1.

I would look at whether i am comfortable with that money on monthly expenses for me and my family.

- It'd be just me relocating to Linz and I've researched cost of living there but that'd be an estimate. I'm unsure how much salary would suffice me in reality as it'd be only possible after actually living there for 2-3 months.

2.

I better negotiate as much as possible to get the best out of the situation.

- Any tips on how to achieve this without damaging my chances?

Hi Vijay,
Assuming you salary to be 45000/- per year, my estimate is that you will get about ~2800/- in your hand which should be good enough for you on monthly basis but just you alone.

For negotiation of salary, i suggest you would need to sense the employers need and based on that you can negotiate, Generally a hiring manger will have +-10% of budget on hiring, I would say it's worth a try. Also you never ruin you chances of getting hired and this is why it is called negotiation, there is no black and white here.
All the best.

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for the quick response! Just FYI - you've misspelled my name as Vijay instead of Vinay.

From your reasoning, I conclude that €45000 yearly is sufficient for me alone so anything upwards of this will surely be the same as well.

Quick question - do I reply to their email with negotiating for a higher package right now itself OR wait until post the interview(s)?

Because I'd rather not be the person who agreed to their range at the start, subsequently cleared all their rounds but was later rejected only for asking slightly more money.

Kind Regards,
