Hi Forum members,
I am in the middle of an ongoing discussion with a Telecom Company for moving to Manama, Bahrain. I have done my Engineering and have 3 years of experience. I am not offered any salary since the discussion is still on, but I do not want give them a number/figure that the company cannot match basis my experience and skills compared to their requirements. I am single(25), and would love to relocate but confused on the average salaries for people with around 3 years of experience.
One more problem that I might face is that the company would compare my current salary in India and would offer 2 x X or 3 x X if X is INR current salary. But since the expenses in India are pretty lesser as compared to that in Bahrain, I doubt I can manage in less than 4 x X (INR) annually( Is it practical to ask for it?).
I really want to save some good money there if I am relocating, atleast 500-600 BHD /month(I hope that's not a big numner, need inputs). Reading different blogs and reviews, I suppose I can manage my expenses well in 700-800 BHD /month which would include rent, food, travel and misc expenses. So I really need help so as to what approximately to ask for to the company as a first offer(considering my 3 years of experience). The company is a good telecom company, and I fit in their requirement pretty well.
Will 1500BHD /month be ok to ask for with rent to be paid my me or can I ask more.(I dont want to piss off the company by giving a very high number)
