QUOTE (54BRE @ Nov 6 2012, 12:27 PM)  Pretty much, it's very much a value for money thing as well. Buying property and renting property, for what you get in terms of $ value... is a bit ridiculous when you compare. For example, a massive 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom 6 car garage tuscan style mansion on the beach front in Cape Town will cost you around R6Million, which works out under $660k AUD. I'm pretty sure everyone would agree that you wouldn't get that kind of property for that price here. With regards to the Salary, positions are different here and there with regards to income. Main reason why so many Doctors from SA come here - they can earn more, then go figure, people go overseas for treatments because it's cheaper. Going to the movies in SA will cost you around R19 from memory - about $2. I shout all my mates and business colleagues a feast of a dinner at a really fine restaurant near the waterfront in Cape Town - last time I was back, we were 12 people, the bill came to R1989 - around $210, for 12 people, with starters, steaks, desserts and drinks. Ever want to have an awesome holiday with your Aussie $, go see South Africa  maybe buy a car while you're at it  I worked with a Zim guy who sold up everything and moved over to Aus......got the shock of his life when he went to buy a house, car, etc over here in regards to how much everything costs. |

QUOTE (Twat In The Hat @ Nov 6 2012, 08:41 AM) Just decided to do a bit of research into SA income. General/Operations manager average income: Australia - $90,000 / R815,245 South Africa - R311,299 / $34,353 AUD So essentially, although it's just over half the price of what we'd pay, it would technically be more expensive there. LOL what kind of pleb GM in Australia is only on 90k a year? :bowrofl: |

I think they combined different kind of managerial roles to get that average, so it's not a clear indicator. But I'd imagine they did the same thing for the South African statistics as it was from the same website. |
