700 EU for a detached 2 bedroom house in Cork? Not in today's market. In Cork City, 700 EU will get you a room in a house that you will share with others. Cork's housing market is becoming as ridiculous as Dublin's. If you don't believe me:

Thank you so much for the kind reply.

Than what should i count for 2 bedroom apartment or house not very near to city center.
Also suggest me some job which i can start as i said my engilsh is very good and i have a vast experience of customer services in hotel reception and pharmacist shop.Do you think I will manage to get any job with package of 30000 euros annually before tax.

Thanks..

I really don't mean to be rude but judging by your forum posts most people would not rate your English as "very good"!

Take a look at this Glassdoor page with a list of companies in Cork together with the salaries they pay: https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/cork … IM3078.htm

You will quickly see that 30k might not be realistic - unless you have specialist skills like IT or languages. Even at Apple someone in CS according to the scale earns between 23-26k and I doubt that hotel reception or pharmacy would pay a lot more  :/

Good luck finding a job though!

Thank you so much for the kind reply.

I think I will first enter cork ,to give it a try for a year. I will try to do part time some jobs at restaurants or pubs too to meet up my target of 30,000 euros with my full time job.

Once again , I thank you for the suggestion.

If u can, please suggest me for the accommodation as well, One bedroom house somewhere 30 minutes drive from cork city center will cost approx 850 euros?

Thanks and regards..
