Hi,

I am from India & will be planning to move to Yangon. I have got a job offer of 4000 USD/per month (net take home) & other benefits like (2 person shared accomodation, transportation, telephone, internet,air tickets,health insurance).
Also annual bonus of maximum 3 months net pay.

They are offering Manager post in Telecom company. My total experience is 7.5 Years +.

Is this offer is praiseworthy ?? Or I need to negotiate more ?? Can I save sufficient money out of it ??

Kindly guide me with your valuable comments please..

Thanks,
A. Mandal

Seems to be a good offer. Your living expenses will be minimal so you could potentially save a lot of your salary.

Now a days, Yangon is safe for living and it is not so much for food expenses per day. Probably about 10USD will be quite enough (this is estimated for good foods for 3 meals in a day)

4000 for telecom job is rather low. The quality human resource is in MM is a rare commodity. You will have to calculate the risk of being in this country with very little access to what you are used to (i.e health care, communication).

Hi Guys,
Salary of 4500USD is ok to live in Yangon? I have to manage everything on my own, transport/internet/stay/insurance. How much can I save?
I will have to manage my own flight tickets as well.

The accommodation cost is high, so in my view if they supply for accommodation, the offer is not bad,can save money,but the cost for eating is up to you,if you can eat simple, more you can save. Just my view. 馃槉
