Hi somnath24,

An all-inclusive package of R.O. 950/- for a couple is not really much. But you can manage. The place of your posting would also help evaluate your savings potential. If you are going to be working in Muscat, your expenses would be more than if you were to be employed in the interiors.

In any case, instead of asking the opt repeated questions about the cost of living, you must first read the numerous posts on the same subject, which is already freely available in the forum, under the same topic.

So help yourself.

Hi Somnath
A salary of RO 950 (Approx. Rs.1,50,000) for an IT Engineer (Project Lead) with 7 years experience from a Bengaluru-based "leading MNC"... not worth, especially if you live in an expensive city like Muscat. But I guess you may still end up saving approx. Rs.70 to 85,000 a month! Its just an estimate. Getting a bargain-priced accommodation is the key.
All the best
