S! Whips!

So, i got a job offer to work in the kitchen of hotel in Dublin, salary is about €1265 , and i dont know if that is a good salary or not! I need to give a answer until the 18. But for me to go to other country and not be able to sustain my self is not worth it!

for me to give a answer would like to know some more stuff like:
Is it a good salary to live in europe?
Is it good for dublin?
Life to expensive there?

i dont know if anyone lives in dublin! iam trying to look about life there in brasilian forums and other stuff, but would like a European view!!

I can tell you that Euro 1265 is just above minimum wage. So okay but not great.
For what I can tell it is not the most expensive country of Europe...
A good indicator would be to look online at Apartments to rent {let} see what they ask for what you need.
Ireland is great as long as you do not mind rain, grass, and driving on the left side.

Ouch, that's not a lot of money. As Shagher says that it must be just an inch above minimum wage.
Considering that you got to work in a kitchen you most likely end up with more than 40 hours a week.

My first full time job was 1200€ / month. I managed to survive and continue from there. But would I have moved country for that salary? Probably not.
The question is if you will receive other benefits like free stay in the hotel or/and free food. So you actually have something left from the 1265€.

Get in touch with Braum. He's living in Ireland atm. He can give you more intel about living costs there

looks like up to 28.000€ / year, single and no kids it will be 20%. Everything above will be 42%
If you are single with kid(s) it will be up to 32.000€ / year with 20%. Above 32k will be 42%.
If you are married it will be 37.000€ for 20%, or 42% above 37k

1200 euros is a bit under minimum wage in Canada (+/- 1300 euros)...
