hi
im based in perth/ scotland and earn 41k p/a in a permanent role, I am applying for jobs in london and would like to know what should be my minimum salary if I transfer to london. , can I say that earning 51K in london is equivalent of earning 41K in perth/scotland? should i expect more than 51k?
will I be able to achieve same living standards if I earn 51k in london?
you can read below lines but dont have to
currently I pay £450 pcm for 3bedroom flat up here ( reasonable area, nice flat, fully furnished 3double bedroom etc...£720 incl all bills and free parking) I am happy with 1/2double bedroom in london as long as its located in a safe,quiet area and not more than 30 minutes away from place of work.
I assume £1200 ( £1500 inc bills) is sufficient for renting 1-2bedroom flat in a reasonably nice area of london(zone 2-4),
if above is corect then im going to need another 10k to cover accomudation cost. here is how its done ...
1500( new rent)-720(current rent) =£780(rent diffrences) * 12(1year) = £9360 (I will need this much extra to cover increase of rent each year)
what other expenses are there that I need to be aware of and take into consideration?
i dnt want to give myself a pay cut!
thanks
