Salaries in Sofia - how trustable is jobs.bg?

Post new topic

Tobi S

Hi Folks,

I am an German native speaker and know Russian and English well (B2 Level). My education is Finance and I have worked on the administrative side for a while. But now I tend to work as an Content Writer, Social Media Research specialist and so on, because the Social Media field is common more and more popular.
That´s why I learn new skills such as HTML, SEO, GoogleAnalytic, Photoshop and so on. But, of course it will be take some time until I have learnt them.

Today I found these job offer, which sounds interesting:

https://www.jobs.bg/job/4608348

Job description looks like good and the salary (2500 Leva gross) as well.

Another one which I like is this one:

https://www.jobs.bg/job/4623797

2800 Leva gross salary for an translator sounds too good.


I mean, can I trust the website? On the one side I know that there is a big brain train in Bulgaria and a lot of big companies outsourcing jobs. But on the other side I know the local salaries for the same jobs and I am surprised the big difference.

Thank you in advance for your advice!

Hi Tobi S,

Basically you can trust job offers with announced salaries. Almost always they are from companies, that urgently need the person. And tese job ads are serious.

However, in some cases companies that deal with online trade - shares, equities, bitcoins etc. .... which will announce salaries between 3500 and 6000 which is clearly a scam, or at least will indicate the highest possible sales bonus.
