Hi All,
I have a job offer from Ireland and am trying to get an idea of the place so I know if it’s a good offer or not. Could you help me with the following please:
1. How much would the rent be for a 2 bedroom house? The office is located in Dublin 1 and my understanding is most people live in Dublin itself (but do correct me if that’s not the case). I went to sites like myhome.ie and such houses cost around 2000-2500 euros. I understand there is a housing crisis in Ireland, are these the typical rates nowadays?
2. Am relocating from Dubai actually, and blown away by the taxes. Losing nearly 40% of the salary in taxes, wow! What does one get out of it? Free education, health care etc? My wife and child will be coming with me so would be good to know if I get any of these free and can take that into account.
3. Anything else to bear in mind while negotiating. I work in the IT industry and the proposed amount is around 85k euros per year. That seems to be at the average or slightly below via a quick Google. I am trying to decide if that’s a good deal and if the relocation is worth it. Any suggestions, pointer, previous posts where such questions are answered would be most welcome.
Thanks.
