    Hi folks!

    I have an offer on hand from a company in Dublin, which I am considering.
    We are a family of five (kids 7,9,12 yrs) moving to Ireland if things work out with this offer.

    The thing is - the offer is 55k a year plus a 22k on target bonus.

    Living outside Ireland and relocating to Dublin for this job, I have to make sure I am not bringing my family into a situation where we will struggle to make ends meet. We will be renting a place to live and need to buy a car.
    I know the house rents has gone down recents periods, but I still find them pretty high.

    What are your opinions?

    Is the company reputable? Typical house rent around Dublin is 900- 1,200 location dependant. As for cars. Well they're reasonably priced. I'm assuming you have the right to work here? (visa if outside eu origin).

    Best of luck in the job.

    Don't forget to take the tax into the account when calculating your take-home pay. Use this calculator http://taxcalc.eu/ (which was always very accurate for me)

    The role is sales within an international IT company.
    And I will be moving from Scandinavia, so the visa issue is ok :)
