CHISINAU, MOLDOVA, April 29, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- How much money do you need to not count every penny and be financially comfortable? Rabota.md team conducted a survey amongst the visitors of the Târgul de cariere from Chișinău and here is what they found out.

Expectations

Most visitors to the Târgul de cariere came to look for a job in accounting, education, IT, sales, transport and logistics, as well as management. Regarding the desired salary, the amount of 15,000 net lei was most often mentioned — this was mentioned by every third visitor, regardless of the field of activity. Approximately the same number answered that they need 1,000 euros or 20,000 lei net per month for happiness.

As a result of the survey, they noticed that the number of people who needed an income of more than 20,000 lei per month for a comfortable life and those for whom less than 15,000 lei would be enough was almost equal.

Most often, lower amounts were mentioned by migrants who returned to the country. Some of them said that, in their opinion, to live well in Moldova, between 10,000 and 14,000 lei per month is enough.
