Guys, bit of advise please.

Final interview on Monday for a postions as Highway Eng. The company is offering £65000 pa(approx 31500 qr per month) This is an all in salary, no accomodation allowance etc, although a vehicle is provided

I would need to rent a 1 bed flat as my wife would visit as much as possible. Kids are at uni/college in UK so thats not a problem.

Is that salary sufficent to not jjust live but put a few £££ away over a few years? I know it depends on social life etc... but the point in doing it would be to get some dough in the bank. Cost of living etc conpared to UK??

Thanks

you pay 8-10k for a 2BHK or 3BHK depending on the location. But if you want to go for 1BHK it will cost you up to 6.5k.

Since you would be staying here with your wife, I guess you will be able to save some money but again it depends how much you spend....

generally, Western engineers get more than that here unless if u r fresh graduated.

u need to pay aprox. 8-10k monthly to rent decent 1 BHK and u need same amount for ur daily meals so overall u will be able to save some cash based on ur life style.

good luck
