cost of living

Good luck in Santiago.  I'd recommend downloading and listening to Dr. John Cobin's excellent "Red Hot Chile" broadcasts.  He is a former American turned Chilean and discusses life in Chile in depth:

Here's his blog:

With regards to the question of "My wife is an MBA and currently work for a KPO and work in financial domain. Is there any chance for her to a find job there? She does not know spanish at all."

Most of the resources I've researched say that unless you can speak spanish you had best forget about employment.  Cobin in his podcasts recommends being able to move to Chile and be self supporting for 3 years - the amount of time he estimates a non Spanish speaker to gain the level of fluencey in Chilean spanish to be employable locally.

With your wife's background - and with her being located in South America there might be some unique self employment opportunities for her with the right connections - starting an andean natural resources investment fund and so on.

Good luck with your new life in Chile.

Hi "Salah Kutta" ... hahahaha joke joke!
well, i had friends from India and they said that Chile is like 2 or 3 times more expensive than India, for example they said about salary that with 1000 dollars (in chilean money) they can live good in India, but here was 2000 dollars. For rent a flat, with 350 dolars you can get a good flat, but here with 800 dollars you can get a good one.

A engineer earn per month between 1500 to 2200, a senior could earn between 2700 to 3500 (depends of industry, company and city). So if you said that they will pay your rent and living cost and also transportation, and also 1500 dollars i think is good.

I just want to mentioned that all my friends that had a wife, finally they come back to India, because here 95% of people  can´t have a conversation in english, and their wife was bored to live here, so try to get a job for your wife too, you can search in www.indeed.cl

Also, all indians came with box of spices, because you can´t easy find here.


See you!
