Question

Hi

I have a job offer from a Company in Bahrain. They are offering me 1320 BD / Month (all inclusive).

Can anyone please let me know:

1. At what level is this kind of salary offered ?

2. Is this salary sufficient for 2 people to lead a decent lifestyle?

3. What is the average rent of a furnished 2 room apartment?

4. what is the saving potential in the given salary ?

Thanks

Answer 1

Well first off congrats to you on the job offer...

1320 is a pretty good salary if you're provided a company car and accommodation (as most companies do provide this)

1. This kind of salary is usually meant for lower to middle mgmt. However you should also know that salaries are often higher for people at the same level for an American, Brit or European as opposed to an Asian. I know this sounds far fetched but its sadly true for many companies.

2. You may have to elaborate on what you think a decent lifestyle should be like but yeah you would be able to go shopping and catch a flick and nice dinner every now and then with this amount.

3. rent can be around 300 or so. depends on what area you live too. some places in Adliya and Hoora are a little pricey (but real nice)

4. This again depends on your lifestyle and money management skills but i think you should save about 100-200 BD a month
