Munich is the safest big city in Germany.
We don't regret one moment we moved here from Vermont.
Munich is village life yet overpriced, walking in any side street of city centre is already as lonely as if you're in a village.
I wish one day I can move
I’m looking for max approx. 1250€ (warm rent) apartments but i cannot estimate rest of my salary would be enough to live, decent life and save money?
Thanks a lot
What is average depends on your job, skills, degrees, lifestyle,... In essence, what do you expect to do with your salary?
And bear in mind that Germans will always try to underpay foreigners (it doesn't matter if you are from India, Africa, South America, Eastern Europe) because they will always come to the point that you do not speak perfect German language which is a "requirement" for a job.
I'm getting 4k euro Gross salary at munich, after tax around 2500 euros, I'm from India is it good or average or below average salary.
I'm having 1lk INR salary right now in India, got this offer and bit confused to move ahead with offer.
Regards,
Shubham
