Am I being lowballed on the salary? ☹️

Trolling would be pretty sad - it’s just difficult to gauge outside of Taiwan I think partly because my search results on google are limited and you’re given a selection of agencies to check from work (such as mangoroc) that tend to have much, much higher costs and rents than the website you’ve all shown me.

I’ve never paid rent other than uni (lived with parents) otherwise, so my understanding of what it costs to live somewhere foreign is pretty non existent. Search results showing Taipei as one of the richest cities in the world also doesn’t help haha.

That being said, this forum has been super helpful in realising it was a good offer. I said around 90k because I read in some places you have to factor in maintenance fees or cleaning.

As for the 27 yo part, I wish I was the rich one from my friends lol. Sadly, I get laughed at (in jest) for not taking IB/Finance route (not saying I consider myself to be poor). But just for perspective, this isn’t a crazy offer and also partly fuelled my posts on here- I really needed opinions of people already living there and not in that circle per se.

Anyway I hope once I do move over I’m able to post questions about lifestyle and dining and partying and culture and all the rest of it. It’s been a lot of hard work- engineering study whilst working and then working in two time zones and building towards this moment.

Thanks everyone
