What is a good salary in Warsaw (office job)?

Hi, I am a Mexican citizen, currently living in the USA. I was recently offered a position with my company in the Warsaw office, but I have no idea what would be a good salary. I am engaged to be married, so my salary must take that into consideration as well. I will be an audit manager with Ernst & Young, but I don't want to ask them for salary information just yet, I want to find out on my own so I can negotiate. Anybody has any ideas? 12,000 zl, 15,000 zl a month? What about taxes? How much would I get to keep net?

Thanks so much!

thank you, but what is a lot? My fiance is from Lodz, and she has it in her mind that Warsaw is so expensive nobody can afford it, and she has got me thinking. What do you think? Ballpark figure?

6,000 zl after taxes a month? Is that good in Warsaw? Sorry, I am completely ignorant on the topic. Thanks!

Do some research on Ernst & Young. Their compensation is really good and I would negotiate. 6000PLN for your position in this company in Warsaw is peanuts. I'd say double of this, if not more.

Great to know, thanks. I will negotiate, but I wanted to get an idea of what my floor and ceiling should be.

Thanks a lot!
