    C'mon. What field of work etc? Location etc?

    Without any info in particular i'd say yes, it's good. It would equal over 40k if you were working a full week which is nice.

    Not to be funny but are you the CEO of google or a shop assistant? An idea of what your at would help.

    Outside the Greater Dublin area, it would be decent.

    If you were renting or paying a sizeable Greater Dublin mortgage, it would be reasonably OK.

    Depends on your circumstances (location, children, overheads)

    If you are a brain surgeon - no.
    If you are a bus eireann driver - even more no.
    If you are a man holding a sign at traffic lights advertising the nearest takeaway - yes.

    Assuming they reimbursed you for fuel and there was no demand for excessive overtime, it would be fine.

    Although still might be inadequate with a big Dublin mortgage hanging over you.

    Become a stripper. You'll make more, work less and more than likely get less abuse!

    For what it entails it sounds good. There are some commercial drivers working longer hours who are not making 28k a year. Wages in the haulage industry for instance seem to have been driven dramatically down in recent years with the influx of cheap labour.

    Depends how the 25 hours is split.

    For example, a five day week, starting 9am, working straight through? Yes. Finished at 2pm every day, and loads of free time for other stuff. Insert, for example, three one hour breaks, and it's less attractive. That'd effectively be 9-5 on half pay.

    Depends how the working week breaks down...

    I suspect it's gross so calculate tax and then see what it actually is per year.
    Then divide the net amount by 12 and that will give you a better grasp on if it's good or not.

    Either way it's good money, especially if you're not living in Dublin with no kids. On boards you are led to believe that earning anything under 100k per year, that you will be eating toast every night by candle light in a box under the m50 bridge

    When I was on this money, with kids, with a mortgage in Dublin, I still had loads of disposable cash.

    It is well above the going rate for that kind of job.

    2.3 a month it is then. Seems fine to me, if the car is included then it's a good one.

    Will it pay your bills, put food on the table etc? Then go for it.

    The phrase "pro-rata" suggests that it is 28,287 pa for a full-time job.

    So doing 25h/40h will get you 5/8 of 28,287.

    This means 17,679.

    The job could be with the US embassy here, as I got the impression the job is in Dublin.

    If it was only €18k per annum for 25 hours, that's a different story. That salary would be poor.
