Hello, I am looking for inputs on what would be a decent salary in San Jose (BSA in product company) to support a family of 4 (husband, wife and 2 kids below 3 yrs). Current income in Bangalore is 3.2 lpm post tax with additional yearly bonus of about 4-5 lakh. However, I am contemplating taking a career break so income would be around 2-2.2 lpm. If there is an opportunity onsite, what would be a minimum salary to maintain a decent lifestyle and do a good amount of savings?

If u have own flat then u can save more, as in Bangalore rent is the main expenses compare to other city.

Thanks for your response. Any idea what the rent is like there? For a 2/3 bhk?

What's your annual fixed component?

Also, how will you make 2lpm even during break?

I have mentioned our combined income, so with me taking a break it would come down to 2lpm. Numbers mentioned is fixed component only. Yearly Bonus mentioned separately which is a one time payout.
