work salaries for expatriate

To anyone who can respond.

I am UK resident and my wife is Mauritian by birth. We have been in the UK for the past 13 years of our marriage and are starting to prepare for going back to Mauritius next year sometime as a resident. I am currently studying for my MCA which is a microsoft certified administrator qualification dealing with C# programming, software development and web page development. I am curious to find out if anyone can tell me the existing salaries for such jobs which involves these qualifications. We have been to the Mauritian consulate in London and we have sorted out the legal requirements for gaining residency.
But my initial requirment at this time is to let me know what is the salary for a programmer, or software developer or web developer in Mauritius. anyone with concrete information. Let me know your help would be appreciated.

Hi Steve the salary structure is way below the UK here.Fantastic life, wonderful people, but unlikely you will earn more than R25.000 per month.Also employers usually prefer you to speak french as well.

Hi Trochetia

Thank you for the info. I was suprised at the salary as IT is in demand. What IT jobs pay more on the island in which departments so i can work around what i am doing. Or would i be better to work for myself. Can you provide this information it would be a big help.

Again many thanks for your input.

Hi Steve
So sorry to be negative re wages structure. You should think about working for yourself or perhaps see if you can get a contract to work here from an overseas country who pay expatriate salary.Good luck.

Hello

We have discovered some websites containing estate agents on Mauritius island. As we are coming to settle next year we are looking for more estate agents on the web. Can you show a list of sites that contain houses with prices for sale and possible pictures of properties within the island districts. And expatriate schools aswell as mauritian schools. And i have a Vauxhall Zafira which is a 7 seater can parts be obtained there on the island or will it be better to sell in the UK and buy a car there.

try www.servihoo.com , the classified adds with your wife for a start for you to get a good pricing index.

also sell the zafira , as parts for vauxhall very rare to find , as a result will be very expensive .

www.lebocage.net for the expats school

here you go
