Salary Range

22 years ago

Hi all, don't know the local currency there but am now looking at a job in Budapest. I make about 70K US a year here in San Francisco and would want a comparable lifestyle in Hungary e.g. 1-2 bedroom apt., ability to eat out regularly and vacation a couple times a year.

I'm not expecting a hungarian salary to port well across international borders, I know that salaries are much lower there. But what I do want is a solid salary by local standards.

Any info you can give me about the local economy and how to negotiate a salary would be most appreciated. I've worked in asia before but this is my first in europe.

cheers,
rob
