No it is not enough if you have a family

I would say that it is even an exceedingly high pay as there are many fine fringes. I would call it an offer beyond measures.

Do remember that fringes are also taxable.

How high the pay will be in the end, will of course depend on your bonus.

Especially the offer of a furnished housing is valuable.

39,000 kroner is absolutely a decent pay for most people. You can even rise a family for that amount, but as always it depends on your need, where you settle etc. When the talk is about expats, I always expect them to be paid more as there is a reason why a company chooses to hire them.

Just go ahead.

This is scam:

Sorry, it avoided my attention that the pay was net.
A Danish company will never be able to guarantee you a net pay as your income depends on your other income here and there, if you have a spouse or not. Simply, because it's impossible to do so.

I can add that I was very surprised by the art of fringes. Not normal at all, even for expats to be offered furnished accommodation, car or medical coverage, but of course, never say never. In fact, I have never heard about it before.

No, this is a real scam. Just another way to get money out of you and others.
