What salary to expect in Australia for a Siebel Configuration Lead position, with 4 years of US experience?

Question

I have been offered a job in Australia (Melbourne Area)

as a Siebel Configuration Lead. Need to know what salary to expect? Cost of living? I will be paying for everything including insurance, transport, accommodation etc.

Answer 1

Don't know what a Siebel Configuration Lead position is so cant answer that bit.

I do know that the price of accommodation and living has sky rocket and rising. I would recommend a minimum of $500Au a week to cover expenses, this does include social spending pubs, clubs, movies, restaurants etc.

Answer 2

That's hard to answer as it depends on the size of the team and the company etc., but there is such a demand for Siebel Configuration Leaders that I'd be amazed if it was under 100k and it will probably be as high as $120k or more if they're desperate. Your experience is excellent and you should be able to negotiate a great package. If they need you to have Siebel Analytic experience and you have it, you should do very well indeed - people with that are like hen's teeth.

You will be able to live well on $100k in Melbourne. Your actual cost of living will depend on your lifestyle, but on 100k you will be able to afford a decent place, a decent car, insurance, utilities, food and everything else and still have some left over for luxuries and travel.
