Living in Helsinki
-
Hellishly expensive drinking. Rent, probably 600-1000 euros a month. Food probably 500. This is of course based on never having lived there, but generic north european prices.
Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

I'm considering a job opportunity that would require me to move to Helsinki. The talks are about to reach the money topic and I am not that well informed of living costs in Helsinki. So, I'd appreciate any Helsinki residents' insight in living expenses and standard senior developer salaries in Helsinki.

I have lived 20 years i Helsinki and think that you should earn at least 3000 euro/month to be able to live comfortable. Remember that you also need to pay 35% in tax. Here is a site with apartments: http://www.vuokraovi.com/vuokraovi/main/main.action?locale=en&theme=theme_en[^] Expect to pay at least 700 euro/month on rent.

So basically with 3000-tax = 2000 should be enough for a comfortable living? Or you are talking about 3000 after tax deductions?

Seems a bit high - but of course depends on family size.
