As a thumb rule ask for 3-4 times what you are getting back in India !!

Now dont ask me with tax or without tax !!

Including 10% fees for my advice, you can ask the Bank to pay you about 20,000 to 25,000 SR pm.

On a serious side, I agree with Saimans & Kymadoce.

@FLS - that barely meets the Minimum wages in India

i agree with Saimans you should be demanding 3-4 times of Net salary you're getting in india and then m sure you will be quite happy here.
