Hey all!
Looking for some information On Baku. My wife and I have an offer there from English Language Solutions. Anybody know anything about that organization? What are the going salary rates and rental rates?

Any info would be great!

I was there 2003/4. ELS and British Council offered very similar deals - both of which were quite good. Around 15K Sterling. That was fine for saving. Rents were about $300 for very basic, but central, flats. Being tight, I did that, but most others went for something a bit better at $4/500.
Bills were minimal.

But that's 2003/4. I've heard things are going up in price quite fast. Maybe $5/600 flats? Anyone with better info?

There are a few threads around here talking a little bit more about lifestyle so I won't go into that.
