I am now being offered a number of interviews (I am in Ireland) for Sr IT positions in Argentina, and without exception, they ask what you would be looking for in terms of salary. I know the rates have gone down a lot in last couple of years, but at the same time I am going to need to earn...

Firstly, thank you to all those who have replied. It may help if I shed a little more light on the underlying reasons for this post. I am aware of the need for work VISA, I will be arriving on Indefinite VISA and obtaining DNI/CUIL while I am there. I will be looking for job once I have these...
