Hi,
Someone has got any idea of the average salary of a single assistant at QSI Bratislava?
The salary is upon an agreement and I would like to know what should I ask during the interview.
Would it be possible to know as well what is included in the benefits?

Thanks

I would be very careful when negotiating a contract to work at this school. The Slovak Krown is appreciating rapidly vs the dollar and the Euro is going to be adopted in the future, though the timeline keeps changing. To give you an example when I arrived in Bratislava the dollar was worth 32 SKK. I checked the exchange rate yesterday and its worth less than 22 SKK while the Euro is at an all time high.

In addition, the cost of living is going up as prices rise for both commodities as well as housing, so people being paid in dollars are getting a double whammy. QSI is not known for being generous with its non overseas teaching staff. If you do decide to sign on, and Bratislava is a wonderful place to live, make sure you get all the extras included in your contract, like housing, insurance etc.
