Hi,
I am getting an offer for around 8000-9000 RM as a software developer. I am planning to come to KL with my wife. Is that salary enough to live in KL? and is that the average salary for a software developer?

My wife has a degree in Marketing and Management will she be able to find a job as well?

Please advice since I have no knowledge about life in Malaysia

Thanks in Advance,

Gravitas

The salary is sufficient and its in the typical salary range.

Take a look at the Cost of Living postings (see forum categories above) to get some details. Finding work for your wife could  be difficult.
