2000 to 3000 euros on average if you don’t share.

What percentage is it of inhand income ?

So I suppose 3000€ for a 2 bedroom in a nice area isn’t that bad given that I have a flatmate?

Don't know Dublin but general advice is not above 30% but obviously depends on the local market. Did you get 120k$ in RSU's? Or are you in sales, just curious how it works in European offices.

MongoDB kGnB66 OP Sep 9, 2023

You mean 30% of pre or after tax? Might be difficult in Dublin since we get paid 🥜 compared to the US but rent is still crazy. I got less. Divided RSUs by 4 and signing/relocation bonuses by 2 years as that’s the usual timeline for first promo and I plan to relocate back to my home country after that.

Are you getting 70k base in Dublin as a first job and have 3 months of experience ? That is amazing TC

Yes

I have 3 YOE doing full stack stuff on the side during uni, but it’s not relevant for my current role so I don’t count it
