[Xi C. (Firma: All) (wirklichgut)]

Hallo!!

Zuerst entschuldigen Sie, dass Ich ein sehr gut Dutsch nicht sprechen 
kann. I habe nur eine A2 Niveau. Ich brauche eure Hilfe. Ich bin 
Ingeneur mit 1,8 Jahre Erfahrung in qualitätssicherung bereich. Ich muss 
ein Auswahlgespräch in Tirol und Ich möchte das typische Gehalt 
verstehen, für meine Erfahrung. Ich habe viele Internet-English-Seiten 
gesurft aber Ich habe die Gehälter nur für Deutschland und Schweiz 
gefunden, (fast)nichts in Österreich.

Können Sie mir hilfen, um das "richtige" Gehalt für meine Erfahrung 
anfragen?

Dankeschön,
Einen guten Tag!!


English version: hi, I am sorry in advance for my very bad Deutsch. I 
tried to google on payscale and glassdoor but it is being quite 
difficult to get salaries information for Austria in English.

About me:

1,8 years of experience in quality assurance
Bachelor and Master degree in engineering (I do not want to put in here 
too many details)
I have a job interview in Tirol scheduled and I would like to understand 
what wuold be a salary aligned to the Austrian market. I found only one 
report (you can find it here enclosed) stating:

"Entry salaries for engineers “fresh from universities” are typically 
2500 to 2800 € per month - values of up
to 3300 € have been seen [15]. To quantify this statement for 
international comparison one needs to
remember that in Austria gross salaries per month have to be multiplied 
by 14 to get the annual values.
So those annual values are 35000 – 39200 € per year with the highfliers 
at 46200 €."

With almost two years of experience, how much should I ask? Any idea??

[money!!!! (Gast)]

as you said, you get your salary 14 times a year.
But you should definitly ask for "50.000€ Brutto-Jahresgehalt", I think 
that should be fine. Or maybe even higher ... depends on your 
qualifications.

Thank you so much for the swift reply. Is it allowed to talk in English 
in this forum? One thing I forgot to mention is that I am not working in 
the electronic/electric field and I am not an electric/electronic 
engineer...I cannot specify too much the field but it is a different 
one, but always in qualitätssicherung. Does things change in your 
opinion? I would like to avoid to be chopped just because I ask for a 
salary that is too high or too low

50000 AS foreigner in Austria? Austria isnt Germany...

[Xi C. (Firma: All) (wirklichgut)]

I was thinking the same thing....50000 euro is German standard, just 
wondering if it's the same in Austria....2500 brutto * 14 = 35000 euro. 
2 years experience, let's say 15% more? I get 40000 euro, or 24000 euro 
netto, definitely less than German salaries but since I do not speak 
fluent German, what they puton table I have to grab it. the problem is 
if I will be asked to tell them my salary requirements.......
I am alone, no children, no wife, I will have my personal car paid by my 
own.

Ah, you have an expensive hobby!

[Xi C. (Firma: All) (wirklichgut)]

The so called "personal hobby" is just for travelling to Germany to see 
my fiance twice a month, as she lives in a German place that is hard to 
be reached by trains/flights...

We talk here about a position in quality. Salaries in Tyrol are to my 
knowledge lower than in Vienna or Graz for such jobs. In Vienna you 
could try to get 46-48k with 2 years experience for such a position. All 
your mentioned salaries are for this area.

In Tyrol maybe 10%-15% less (ish)?

[Shgxvb (Gast)]

Well, after my BSC I got 43000 (all in).
And you have BSC+MSC.
So I wouldn't go too low, never ever under 40000. If you think 50000 is 
too much maybe try 48 or 45?

You must keep in mind that living in Tirol is pretty expensive. You need 
a car and a rental flat costs about 500-1000 a month, difficult to get 
something cheaper.

austria = bad payment for foreigners.

Mmmm...I will think about your advice. The company is quite big and I 
guess is in their intention to hire people that will stay with them on a 
long-term period. For the rent I can be 100% flexible. The less I pay 
the better it is. No problem to look for Wohngemeinshcaft, where I can 
develop my poor German skills!
