Moving to Nairobi - Considering what Salary is good

Hi,

I am considering an offer by a potential employer based out of Nairobi. I am still undecided on the salary that one should consider, which would meet not just requirements but also ensure some savings.

What kind of a salary should one expect, considering there is a regional role to be played, with 9 years of experience in Marketing. I will be coming with my wife and want to ideally live the life that a young married couple does, with occasional weekend getaways and once in 6 months a visit to home. Additionally. I am looking at a leased/ second hand car and a 2 bedroom apartment in the expat community.

Would greatly appreciate if you could help me out.. I am seeing that people who say they are getting a monthly salary of 600,000 Khs as being replied to as a good salary, however I am skeptical about this. I am from New Delhi and have my own house and if I am to understand the equation, Nairobi is almost twice as expensive. Given the daily expenses, additional rental, leisure expenses and visits to home, I think the money is not as good as it seems in the first glance.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Cheers!
