Dreaming of a high-paying job overseas seems enticing, but how much money do you truly save after you include in everyday expenses? For many professionals, the truth is more nuanced than just their income. An Indian engineer at Amazon in Dublin has now published his genuine data, providing a more detailed look at income, consumption, and the true cost of living in a global tech center.
In a video posted on Instagram by content producer Umang Chaudhary, the engineer discusses his profession and everyday life. When asked about his job, he says, "I work in Dublin as a software developer engineer, and yes, it is the Amazon office in Dublin."
The conversation quickly shifts to income, one of the most discussed elements of working overseas. The engineer reveals that he makes "about 70,000 to 90,000 euros" (Rs 75-96 lakh) yearly. While this appears to be a good package, it begs an essential question: how far does that money travel in a city like Dublin?
