 Posted: Mon Aug 05, 2013 3:17 pm Post subject: Salary in Kiev |
 |
|
Hey everybody! I know that this is the Russia forum, but the Ukrainian forum is pretty much dead. I am doing CELTA right now, and I'm on the job hunt in Ukraine. I've been in contact with a Ukrainian woman who is helping me find a job, but when it comes to salary I am not quite sure what to press for. I told her at least $600 a month with an apartment, $900 a month without.
Can anybody tell me if this salary is reasonable for a life in Kiev? I'm not a huge spender, but I do enjoy the occasional night out on the town.
Thank you in advance for your replies! |

| I can't say for sure, but money seems to go further in Kiev (at least when I was a tourist) than in Russia, so perhaps you're pretty close on the mark with your asking wage. |

| Well, in my vast experience only people not from Europe still imagine that Eastern Europe is some sort of never never land in which everyone lives on $20 a day. You'll be as poor as heel on that salary. You should be thanking me for the heads up. I have no beef with Americans and count several as being in my closest group of friends. I'm not a racist but I concede that I have strong views against hateful ideologies. |

Hateful? Who doesn't love soup? Soup criticism is blasphemy in that part of the world.
