hello everyone, i was just wondering if 1000 USD basic salary offer would be enough if i’ll move to jakarta particularly in kelapa gading, I’m trying to look for a one-room affordable apartment (somewhat like a condotel) but reading the comments,gave me second thoughts if 1000 USD would be enough, though the company will also provide my meal and transpop allowance.

Adit – have you been able to find out about the cost of living for a family to live comfortably? We are considering a job offer for my husband and would like to know what a good salary is there. Particularly interested in how much rent of a faimily house would be and what the major expense items are.

Any other thoughts / suggestions would be welcome!

Thanks so much for your help

@donna: I have relatives who have lived in Jakarta for years, and their students attend JIS (Jakarta International School) which has the International Baccalaureate diploma (internationally recognized) and is taught in English. Great school for international students.
