So-called "net" salaries in France are net of social security (health and retirement) contributions, but not net of income tax. So I'm guessing the 8k "net" is *not* net of income tax. Thus the 8k "net" is really 6k disposable. That will change in january 2019 when income tax will be automatically deducted from salaries by the employer.
Got a 8K Euro offer in Paris (per month, net)...

My another nightmare is French.
I would like to learn a new language but I am over my 40s and it is not so easy to do so at this age.
Is there any language program offered by oecd and how long does it take to speak French at intermediate level?It depends !!!! If you speak Italian or Spanish you wilk learn French faster than if you only speak English. What s your nationality ?

OECD salaries are NOT subject to French income tax.

I am from an EU country but I do not speak Italian or Spanish.
My native language is not close to French.

OECD bro here.
On the salary
- 8k is base salary for senior economist
- You might eligible to expat allowance, family allowance etc.which will push your salary over 9k. Expat allowance already is 10% of the base salary.
- 9.3% if your base salary will be deducted for pensions
- 2.5% for health care
- 0.45% for death insuranceThanks a lot bro.
Let's make an calculation bro. Is this right?
Reference salary (A4/1): 8,358.35
Family allowance: 332.24
Dependent child supplement (2 children): 664.48
Expatriation allowance (10%): 835.84
Pension deduction (9.3%): -777.33
Health care deduction (2.5%): -208.96
Death insurance deduction (0.45%): -37.61
TOTAL: 9,167.01Everything correct, besides death insurance. The base for the calculation of death insurance deduction is base salary + allowances.
Regarding pensions: If you stay longer than 10Y you will be eligible for a OECD pension. If you leave before they will pay you back your contributions multiplied by 2.25 (no joke).
There are also other benefits. You can get diplomatic number plates. You are eligible for VAT-free car purchases from specific dealers.
But talk to an insider about the current state and the near future of the organisation before accepting the offer.Thanks a lot. Your comments really help bro.
What about job security? If I work as a normal employee, do you think that I can retire from OECD at the age of 65?
What about health insurence? Is it an effective system and valid in other parts of the world?
My main problem is that I do not know any insider. - therefore I am here actually :-)Health insurance is really good and generous. You can go to the VIP doctors and Paris and get reimbursed 95% of the fees. Though you need to pay in advance and get reimbursed later.
You get contracts with a fixed term at the OECD for the first 5Y. Then they decide at the organisational level if they give you a permament contract. This decision is a bit intransparent, as besides performance, gender, nationality play a role as well. In general good people stay though this is not guaranteed.
Take to the diplomatic delegation of our country to the OECD (alternatively the embassy in Paris). Tell them that you have a job offer for a A4 position but need some inside information on the current state and future of the organisation. Fyi, dealing with OECD employees from their country is their job, so don't be shy asking them.
I'm not kidding, there is a lot of stuff going on at the moment, please inform yourself. -
I have some other options in my home country and even they pay better if we take into account PPPs.
e.g. You would need around 2,687.21€ (83,033.76₴) in Kiev to maintain the same standard of life that you can have with 8,200.00€ in Paris (assuming you rent in both cities).
So, if you have a job paying 3K Euros in Kiev, it is better than OECD from salary point of view.

Still, OECD has a brand value and may open some other doors in the near future...
P.S. This is just an example, I am not Ukrainian :-)
Depends on a lot of factors. For me, OECD is definitely better than an institution in US.
Is OECD better than IMF?
Better outside options?

Is OECD better than IMF?
Not really. Much better to move to OECD from IMF than the country.
And job at the IMF much more interestingjust look at how extensive oecd focus is... Imf focuses on money only...
