Try nomad visas for Spain/Portugal. Should be manageable

Software Engineer

Probably on the Spanish embassy’s website, which you could find via this search tool called Google

Product Head

Just to add, I work remotely. So not looking for a new job abroad.

Look into nomad visas in countries like Brazil, Thailand, Philippines, Croatia, etc. In some of them you don’t need to pay taxes to the local government

If you are earning 2.5L INR then I highly recommend Japan, your rent will be your highest expense but other than that you will end up saving a lot of money due to good public transport, health infra and food costs. Just as an example, it costs 1k yen for  a bowl of ramen.  
 Dinner in a very good restaurant will not cost you more than 1500 - 2000 rupees

I am assuming that this is your take home income. Based on that your salary might be 45-50LPA if I am not wrong. Convert this to Euro i.e. 50,000 to 55,000. This amount of money is not sufficient to live a lavish life abroad. If you have a family then it's even more difficult.

Can I move abroad with this salary?- Grapevine

Got a job offer which is asking me to relocate to bangalore. I’m currently based out of Gurgaon and not familiar with the rent/amenties scene there. 

What is a good salary range to live a good life there? By good I mean 
- Living in a decent (subjective ik) society with some basic amenities like gym, park, pool (would love that) etc. 
- Dining/Partying at least once a month. 
- Going out to some place atleast once a week
- Having a maid for cooking + cleaning


Other expenses would remain same across cities (digital products/shopping etc)

All pointers appreciated.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Fresher, 1st job. Getting 12 LPA before deductions. Wanted to know how is it and what type of lifestyle I would be able to afford. 

Fellow Grapeviners earning similar, how do your expenses look and how much do you save?

How is a salary of 12 LPA in Bangalore.

Hello, I have 5yoe at big4, currently working from my hometown. However recently I received an offer for a product company (pre-sales) which needs me to relocate to Bangalore. 
The hike is good 45% but considering the CoL I might just be saving 10-15k more per month than I do now. 

So, my question is, is it worth joining the product firm and relocate?

Move to Bangalore for slight pay increase?

I know this is very vague bordering on stupidity, but for a single guy to survive in Bangalore, what is like the average monthly expense etc, if planning to stay in a small house while eating outside

Does an average Software Engg job cross that threshold

Is 1cr Salary enough to survive in Bangalore??

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I'm a 28-year-old married (Wife is also working) individual currently residing in Kolkata, where the living expenses are relatively low. I have 5 years of work experience, and my current compensation package is 28 lakhs fixed and 3 lakhs variable (approximately 1.95 lakhs in-hand salary after deductions). With no liabilities or responsibilities, my monthly expenses are around 40,000 INR, and I manage to invest around 1.5 lakhs per month.

Currently, I enjoy a stable job and live with my parents, who take care of most of my living expenses. However, I'm considering the possibility of switching jobs and moving to another city, which would require me to bear the additional costs of rent, food, and other living expenses on my own.

Question: Given my current financial situation and the potential for increased living costs in a new city, should I explore a job switch and relocation? Or should I continue with my current stable job and living arrangement in Kolkata, where my expenses are minimal? What factors should I consider when making this decision?

Should I switch and move to bangalore

Nah stay there only. Why relocate to Bangalore If you are earning a decent amount and living with your family happily.

Considering a fresher who will need to do a masters abroad (MiM/Masters not MBA as it needs work ex) with a loan vs a fresher who will start working right after UG in Consulting or Finance
Considering the PPP, and also considering that it is a golden decade for India
How will it look for these two different routes? Would love to hear your opinion/suggestions

Where can one earn the most? India vs Abroad

Been in Bangalore for 6+ years and love everything the city has given me. 
This city ( more like people here) taught me what software engineering and product sense is, how to entrepreneurs function, whats a 100X coder like. 
Made many memories, weekend trips to nearby places were so nice. Dated, moved in and then married my girlfriend, adopted a dog. So Bangalore has given me a lot. 
But in hindsight it takes a way a lot also - 
1. Everybody is in constant work mode, even in parties its just about who is doing what
2. Everybody is in loot mode here - i have seen locals pay less for veggies/fruits in front of me, then the veggies apparently have lead in them
3. Rents/builders/brokers/roads - we all know whats up with them 

Though it was nice initially, now i feel like even after earning so much ( ctc > 1cr) if i just spend it all here ( monthly expenses ~2lacs same is with all my married friends), what is the point even.

Hence making a move to slow life now, where you get a house with garden for 25k and fresh veggies and you can actually develop some relationship with community. 

This urge to always outperform in career is not really needed, we all eventually work towards savings and hence if i earn less but spend even lesser, its more or less the same thing for me.

But i dont want to live in a matchbox, travel 1 hour to meet a friend, eat a roti for 150bucks and be in constant anxiety about climbing the ladder. 

All i want is to focus on health, and sit in a garden in some sunshine with my wife and my dog and enjoy a cup of tea. 

So yes, I AM DONE. Moving to a tier 2 ( more like tier 2.5 town ) 

Happy to answer any questions if anybody has any.

Done with Tier1 cities, moving to tier 2 town with family - A rant

So are you fed up with Bangalore or just the career rat race? 
  
 Both are different. 
  
 Also, costs can be low in Bangalore, spending 2L/mo in married life isn't a feature of the city, it's the feature of your circle. 
  
 Not all high earners have to be HENRYs

I make 50k now @chennai, got a Bangalore offer for 13LPA, got another one here for 10.5LPA. I need to pay 40k for my home, but I don't pay rent here. While I really want to move to Bangalore, I'm wondering if 13LPA is enough for my monthly 40k + rent + food + other day to day stuff. I know it's vague but I'm just want to know if I can or should I keep pushing for an higher package

I'm new here, lmk of there a grapevine post "tax"

Welcome to Fintech India's Private Community

Age 30, married, expecting to be alive till 80
50 L in cash
Own house & car (no plan to sell any of them)
No kids, no loans, no expectations, just basic life
Nothing from family

Excel calculation is hinting yes :)
But need practical advice

Can someone retire with just 50 Lakh in hand at 30.

You can't have the same car for 50 more years. 
  
 Your house will need pieces of renovation in the next 50 years. 
  
 Your body parts will start crumbling in the next 50 years.  
  
 Inflation will continue to eat your money in the next 50 years. 
  
  
 So no way you can survive with 1L per year for the two of you.

I got a job offer of 10 LPA base as a Business Analyst at a BFSI company. The work is full remote with an option to do hybrid as well. The office is in Bangalore and I really want to move there since it’s just the starting of my career and I feel like I could learn a lot by being in office, but idk if I can afford Bangalore rent and COL with this base. Any inputs (including your thoughts on if I should stay remote or move to Bangalore) are appreciated.

Fresher with 10 LPA (Base) offer. Should I negotiate?

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

I am working as software engineer at FAANG. I pay ~1.25L income tax per month. It pains me a lot. Since being general class male, I never got any benefit from but these govt is looting me. There are many small shopkeeper, landlords, farmers who earn more than me but none of them is paying tax but here I am paying such huge tax like loser. What should I do? Should I move abroad where even though I will still pay 30% tax but still I will have more money than being in India, or should I open a shop like of clothes, or chai?

Can I move abroad with this salary?
