Salary in Shanghai - Part II Hi Michael, Thank you for your reply. I understand that cost of living is relative. But there are certain items that everyone needs no matter if he is local or an expat. In your opinion can I afford to lease a car, rent a decent apartment and live a comfortable life in the salary that I have been offered? The previously mentioned salary includes Bonus which woud not be paid monthly. After tax I will be getting something around CNY 30K a month. Is that good enough? Ammar |

Salary in Shanghai - Part II Hi Surender Not sure if you finally moved to China but if you did, it would be nice to know how are you coping up with your life there. I am in a similar situation and have been offered a job by a Telecom company in Shenzhen paying the same amount of money (CNY 650,000 per annum). The difference is that I have 2 kids and a wife. I have received conflicting advice from different people. Some say I can live like a king with this money and some say that since I will have expenses that of an expat, it wouldnt be easy to live a comfortable life. What do you reckon? Cheers, Ammar |
