marksoc said:Wages do increase between 17 and 25%, especially in companies that pay 5000 pesos, which is not bad at all for Argentina. If you rent an apartment with a "garantia" you will be OK, or sharing with other foreigners (try here or in the "Shares apps" subgroup in Couchsurfing, Buenos Aires group). You will be over middle class local income for one person, and if you don{t go to eat to expat restaurants, it will be enough for going out, theater, cinemas, parties, etc etc. If you eat at home you will even be able to save a bit (especially if you share your flat, and if the flat was rented with a Garantia). I have seen many young foreigners teaching English in South East Asia that with 1000 USD share big flats, eat out all the time, have fun and even save 25%-40% of their wages. With 5000 pesos IN HAND you could save at least 15% of that, with 4150 pesos maybe not.
I remember being told that a guarantia required permanent residency (if an individual was trying to get one), but perhaps a DNI based on temporary residency will suffice. Perhaps the employer can provide the guarantia in spite of the rentor's immigration status.
What does your observation that "many young foreigners teaching English in South East Asia that with 1000 USD share big flats, eat out all the time, have fun and even save 25%-40% of their wages" have to do with anyone who wants to live in Argentina (and save money)?
Just curious...
