Hi All,
To start with, I'm from India. I have been offered a senior consultant role in a reputed consulting firm( those of you who have an idea about consulting, i am currently working as senior in E&Y, india with roughly 60000 INR/month with exp of 4 years and B.tech IT degree). I have been reading all posts to get an idea of what to negotiate on my package and so i had skimmed thru all the posts but couldn't get any info except for a point that says " its upto us to save, life style" n stuff like that. So i thought of posting a query expecting help from you guys. Would appreciate if you can share as much details as possible.
Firstly as mentioned above, what can i expect as a salary/month with 4 yrs exp in consulting with B.tech degree.
what will be expense if i rent a apartment in decent place as i will marry soon and would look for privacy?
i wish to buy a decent car, new one, what will be the month EMI for that.
I am not a great foodie, i occasionally eat outside, i try to cook myself at home. what would be expense i might incur?
what will be expense for internet, electrcity, stuff like that.?
say my salary they have proposed is 900KWD. is it good enuf for a decent lifestyle for a newly married couple(im gonna marry soon). on savings part, i would be happy if i save around 250 KWD a month, will i be able to do that.
kindly share your views and every bit of info you know. it will be of great help to me and others in my shoes.
thanks in advance,
Coolmester.

They Offered me 850 KD(with minimum bonus of 1500KD per year) with insurance, flight ticket per year for me(as of now im single), 30 days paid leave. I have to take care of accommodation and travel. they don't provide anything on that. I wish to rent a furnished studio apartment or a 1 bedroom apartment.
