Relocation from IND to IRL
Posted by Prudent-Tone-5610@reddit | expats | View on Reddit | 15 comments
Hey everyone!
My company is planning to relocate me from India to Dublin office.
I work in Tech for a huge bank.
I’m a SDE-2, 2023 Grad and have 3YOE.
Current compensation is around 25Lakhs INR.
What would be a fair ask considering the cost of living in Dublin?
I have a fear of getting low balled and struggling with lifestyle and expenses in case I accept a low balled offer.
Could you please give me a good idea of what to expect?

Between 60 to 70k euros per year minimum to live comfortably in Dublin

This sounds about right but OP should bear in mind that on this money you would struggle to rent an apartment by oneself
Uncle_Richard98@reddit
He can apply to the cost rental scheme and get a 1 bedroom apartment for 1200/300 euros per month. Also there’s wholes 1 bed apartment for 1800, with 70k per year that’s totally reasonable.
I live in Dublin with the same salary renting a 1 bed for myself with the cost rental scheme but before in the private market paid about the same.

Will I be able to apply for this cost rental scheme right away since Ill be very new to the country?
And a qualifier for this would be a salary of less than 66k before tax or post taxes?

You need to be living in Ireland for at least 3 months to apply for it. And the 66k limit is post taxes, so you would need to be on a 110k per year (before tax) to not qualify. A 60/70k salary after tax is 45-50k so you more than qualify.

That's not that bad actually. Cheers for the info

Based on your current salary sounds like 80k euros for the same standard of living. “Comfortable” if you are alone. You won’t be “rich”. Minimum 60k required would say.

Bro what company and stack you work?

Ask on r/IndiansInIreland, loads of tech workers there
Prudent-Tone-5610@reddit (OP)
Thanks!! I will ask there
OldInvestigator5266@reddit
I'm Indian lad based in Dublin. DM if you want. For 3 year 60-70k would be minimum I would ask.
Rent is bigger expense. 1400 for single room in a nice place. 2k atleast for studio. If you go to rough areas then you can get for cheaper but last year Amazon network engineer was stripped naked and attacked so I would say stay in nicer areas
Good things is on a high salary you don't have to rent for long. You could just buy should you want. Again DM for more info.

Hi, can I dm you?
Prudent-Tone-5610@reddit (OP)
yes please

1 bedroom apartment in Dublin goes for a minimum of €1800 + bills, so this gives you an indication of the cost of living.

ask for full salary plus relocation package breakdown in writing first, then use numbeo / glassdoor ranges to push higher. rent and taxes in dublin hit hard, easy to underprice yourself. market is rough now too, not many options if this falls through
