Hi,

I'm a Canadian seeking employment in Madrid and I?m wondering what salary to ask for to maintain same quality of living in Spain. Let?s say I?m making CDN$ 125,000 per yr with 10% based bonus in the aerospace industry and I apply for a job in Spain in the same industry (large company), same type of position & responsibilities, what salary should I ask for in ? to keep same quality of living considering taxes and all?

Thanks!

You should keep in mind, however, that the salaries in Spain are lower than the average of Europe - not to mention Canada.

Good luck anyway :)

Hi, first of all, im sorry because my english is not properly. I'm working for a spanish airline, the salary will depend of the company you are applying for and the position.
For example is not the same Iberia than Vueling, or work as pilot or mechanic....
