Hi,
I am an engineer (MSC) with over 10 years of experience. I got a job offer in the power industry in Angola, salary 85000 USD per annum.
Anybody an idea if this is a fair average salary?

Thanks

Of course that's fair enough!

you are still in the Supervisory - Managerial Level so $85,000 is not so low and not so high. Senior Managers would be at 100 T USD -up!

Sorry to say that this won't go very far in Luanda. If your package includes accommodation in addition to the base salary, then it's reasonable enough. Otherwise, you will have to shell out half your salary for a half-decent (or worse) place to live. A lot depends on your current lifestyle and what you are willing to forego.

I agree with SuzyQ.  Luanda is either the most expensive or the second most expensive city in the world depending on the source so make sure your compensation package includes housing, transportation and a meal allowance.  If it does, then the 85K seem reasonable.  Otherwise dont even bother.

Seems low to me.  US$17 per day wont event get you a pizza.  Is the $2,500 net?

Very low salaries I must say, had everything paid including housing, vehicle, driver, feeding allowance, insurance, pension scheme etc.

On top of this they also paid me (!) a handsome USD-salary every month, worked as a Manager.
