I found a website that seems to cater this niche demographic.
Salaries run from $4-6,000 a month.
What are Languish's thoughts on this matter? :hmm:
Seems like good compensation, and there will probably be bonuses and other benefits. Do it.
Moscow is very expensive to live in. You should inform yourself about cost of living before considering this.
It's not confined to Moscow, and even if it was isn't Russian GDP per capita is like $13k. I'd be rolling in money.
The next highest salary I've seen for Russia is $2,000 a month and that's for HMBOB's company. These seem to be teaching/tutoring jobs provided and paid for by individual families. People who can blow that kind of money on a private tutor for their kid must be high rollers.
Yeah、 Moscow is (or was a year or two ago) the most expensive city in to live in the world I heard.
I don't think GDP per capita is too good an indicator of how things are for such an unequal country like Russia. Many cities seem pretty western standard whilst out in the boonies you have people living in third world conditions.
But still, that pay does sound great and teaching is what you want to do. Worth applying anyway to see if you get anywhere.
Strange that company would pay so much....
Except it's full of Russians.

Like I said, it seems it's a recruiting company for rich families, and my concerns go more towards Wigin's than Zanza's.

Novosibirsk is the third largest city in Russia, but that doesn't really mean a whole lot-if you aren't in Petersburg or Moscow you might as well be in Rostov-on-Don. With that in mind, you could likely afford flying in to Moscow, Beijing or somewhere else interesting on a pretty frequent basis with that kind of cash.

No you won't. It's not a median. The standard of living is
significantly below what you would be used to in rural America. In order to get the standard of living comparable to a middle class person in a Western city, you would be paying through your nose.
Tim,
Please do not do this. Your life would be in great danger.
Remember: No one goes into teaching to make money. You will always either be poor, or at least moderately comfortable. You will never have nice things as a teacher. Your reward is not meant to be material, but spiritual. If the carrot being dangled in front of you appears too sweet, it probably is.

IDK what median income is in Novosibirsk, or how easy it is to gain access to luxury goods associated with the European-American Middle Class. This seems like a fair point, but I think it's pretty likely that cost of living is way lower in Sibirsk than Moscow.

It's not confined to Moscow, and even if it was isn't Russian GDP per capita is like $13k. I'd be rolling in money.
No you won't. It's not a median. The standard of living is significantly below what you would be used to in rural America. In order to get the standard of living comparable to a middle class person in a Western city, you would be paying through your nose.
If was pulling in $48-72k in Russia I would certainly have a higher standard of living then I do now in S. Korea.
Tim, rather than move to remote regions of russia to raise your standard of living, why not reconsider a career teaching english? There are undergrad careers that pay in that range right out of school, and some have pathways to lots of international travel if that is what you are after.
What's he doing now in S. Korea?
Teaching english at a standard of living he would consider moving to remote regions of russia to improve?
I'm quite happy with my standard of living. That doesn't mean it can't get better.

Yep. Doing pretty well for myself.
You had nowhere to go but up, so you've got that going for you. :thumbsup:

Has anyone ever said that with regards to moving to Russia?

Brings this to mind. Something for Tim to look into if he feels like a spot of adventure.

How is that an improvement? If he stays there for a couple of years, he'll just wind up living in Russia anyway.
Its not. It sounds rather terrible IMO. Really not the job for someone in it for the money.
Dguller is selling me on this, go for it Timmay.
