Need Help

Dear Friends,
I am yogesh kshirsagar from Nasik India (near Mumbai). I will be shifting to Jakarta on international assignment in one of the engineering MNC as an expat on 3 years contract. I shall be shifting my family having 4 adults & 1 child(Total 5 members). Could you please guide me how much salary I should ask to live comfortable & very good life at Jakarta. My company will be providing me house, car & child education fees etc.

Please let me know how much salary would be okay for me.

Please reply me as soon as possible. I need to take decision in next 2-3 days.

Hello Yogesh.

Welcome to Expat.com! :)

Hope you'll get some informations soon.

Thank you,
Aurélie

Many locals live on less than Rp2 million/month but don't expect to eat out a lot.
% million gives you an acceptable LOCAL standard of living but everything is on credit.
10 million is easily and about what I spend per month on everything but I'm not a big spender, don't drink but I do like restaurants.
That also covers housing and my kid's school but not my toy motorbike that I bought cash.
Specialist engineers should be looking at 30 million (ish) or maybe more.
You can live well and save a bundle of cash (but only if you turn your brain on).

Hello yogesh,

welcome to Indonesia. I hope you will like it.
About your salary bargain, its depends on your experience and your position.
I would rather say ask the company first how much ussualy they give for same position like you and just increase 10-39% more.

And i guess the salary you receive will be around $2000.

All the best for you.

Serious, $ 2.000 is not an Expart salary!

How yogeshvk wrote, he will get a package from the company and thatŽs the normal way!

A couple of friends get as a newbie 3-5.000 Euro

Hello Dear Mas Fred,
Many thanks for reply & information. I will get back to you for more info.
