Hello everyone.

I received a potential offer from CREF in St. Petersburg, so I am curious if there is anyone who has worked there, or in St. Petersburg who can offer some advice. The salary info I received is this:

It would be at least 60hours a month. The guaranteed salary is 30,000 rubles.

If you work more hours, then the price for one more hour would be 500
rubles for 45 minutes.

This seems like few hours and a low salary, from what I can gather. They also do not offer an apartment, so I'd have to deal with finding a place and paying for it on that salary

I've just landed a job in St Pete on that salary WITH a shared apartment, and many people here view that as pretty low.

I really wouldn't accept a job with a salary of only 30,000 guaranteed if there was no accommodation provided. I think you'd be scraping by, and possibly even finding an apartment that cheap might be difficult.

People say St Pete's nowhere near as expensive as Moscow, but I personally think it's trying hard to catch up.

Go with a different McSchool, is my advice.
