I tried to work it out and they have now offered 30000 GBP. There would be a bonus component which they say would be a minimum of 10% for very good performers. If i take the minimum it would amount to 33000 GBP. I have not made up my mind. Will think about it for next few days.

What you guys are saying seems reasonable. I could always look around after an year or so. I do not want to be permanently based in London. Would like to spend 4-5 years and then come back to India.

Do let me know of your opinions...

Hi Guys:

I concurr with what "ab parashar" has to say. I have an offer from a London based company which will give me 1661 GBP/Month after taxes. The montly expenses in London will run to as much as 1100-1200 GBP and the saving of 500 GBP would be same as what I'm saving here back in India.

I do not find any motivation to move to UK then. Any opinions???

Friends:

They have offered me 27000 GBP/Annum + Bonuses. I do not think bonuses will amount to much. Taking 27,000/Annum as my base salary, i would get 1661 GBP net in hand/Month. Considering monthly expenses of 1100 GBP, I would hardly be able to save 500 GBP/Month which will be lesser than what I'm saving in India right now.

I think the salary is too low but the company say this is the bench-mark. I have a total of 5 yrs IT expereince and about 4 Yrs in .NET. I have worked for Accenture, MphasiS and now have an offer to join iFlex. I'm confused about this. DO you think I should join them in London and switch to another job in a year on so OR shall I join iFlex and wait for an on-site opportunity.

I'll be moving in with my wife, after we get married by end of this year. It seems that the office is located close to Harlesden tube. Is there any decent locality closer to this area where i can look for affordable accomodation. I'm looking for a 1 Bedroom flat within 750-800 GBP? Can I find a good enough accomodation within that budget??

I do not know about the difference in taxes for natives and expats but from what i get from the following site. I would get about 2200-2500 UK Pounds in hand.

I'm very much concerned about the accomodation costs. The location is based in Park Royal/Harlesden, NW 10. From property letting sites i found the rent to be 600-700 PCM for 1 Bed Flat.

How much do you think i should settle for?? Do companies pay an allowance for the city?

I have been selected for a .NET Analyst role in a technology company GamCom based in London. I'm based in Mumbai right now. I'll be getting my offer letters this week. I do not know about the offer yet but i had quoted 35-40K UK Pounds to them earlier. Now it seems the salary would be too low based on the taxes in UK and particularly expenses in London.

What should be a realistic salary in UK (London) for 5 Yrs total experience. 4 Yrs Microsoft.NET experience. Worked for MAQ Software, Accenture, MphasiS and on-site expereince at Microsoft USA.

Please let me know. My interviews went touch-wood and they seemed quite impressed.

Also let me know if any of you have heard of GamCom Solutions in UK??

Hello Guys:

I want to evaluate an offer from iFlex in Microsoft Technologies. I have 5 yrs of experience of which 4 yrs is on .NET. I have also worked on-site at Microsoft HQ USA. I have worked for MAQ Software, Accenture & MphasiS. I currently get 6.0 L P/A and another Rs 6000/Month project allowance.

My expected was 7-7.25 L but i-Flex can only offer 6.5 L Max this too after lot of negotiatons. I have finally quoted 6.8 L to them and waiting a reply.

What do u guys think. Shall i make a change from MphasiS to i-Flex virtually on the same compensation. I'm scheduled to go on-site in Japan for 1 month and will also be giving up that opportunity to join i-Flex. How are on-site opportunities in i-Flex in .NET space.

I had heard that i-Flex sends people to contries such as senegal, uganda and does not allow to come back, is it true?

Please help!!
