FAO: Irish Folk

Post by Revolver »

I've been talking at work and something cropped up about Ireland. So couple of questions for you. I'm asking you cos hopefully you can give me a realistic answer instead of bullshit internet/paper talk.

What is the cost of living in Ireland now?
Has that Lisbon Treaty fucked you up much because I know when I came over there was a lot of shit about it affecting wages and stuff?
Is €35-€45k a good wage in Dublin?

edit: Forgot to say, I heard that the wage above is actually crap. €44k is actually about average for a professional in Dublin (I'm not talking Burger King here obviously).

wel yes 35k and 45k is kinda not aciveable for let say someone with my qualification untill at least more than 7 years in the buisness only like senior professional's in them fields get that kinda of salary .
My average in any job's i go for is between 25k and 30k wich is quite good if you can get into the area and a job that will pay you that much money realistic companys wont hire that many people here first off on 35k or 45k in this country anywhere .
The one im in now i.e shit hole eircom is only 19k a year which is quite funny considering the allowance th e goverment give people a month is like 14k a year for not working lol. So thankfully my market here in this country is picking up slowing again i will be back on to a job rol eof 25k to 30k or 35k when i get my mcsa which is more than enough for shit in this country as cost of living has come down with the new budget this year and thankfully wages have not changed in the new market climate so much.
