(edit title) Expected salary at a Major local Car manufacturer Technical Manager Salary Options

[2Sweden]

Hi people,

After working as a consultant in the last couple of months in Gothenburg I have the opportunity to go become permanent.
I was in a what a think a not bad rate of 690SEK per hour. Unfortunately I don't know what to expect as a permanent salary.
The position would be for a technical manager position typically could be said as niche...
Could someone one shine a light what sort of salary should be expected?

I'd knock 25% off what it would be in the UK.

But you might be able to negotiate the difference as pension contributions as it is tax beneficial to them.

I have a friend at that company who is in a similar position and earns around 60,000 p/m.

Hi

A Salary of 60000/month (assuming before taxes) appears to be low when compared to UK! Plus Gothenburg its significantly more expensive than mostly of the UK.
Is this true???

[Uncle Fred]

Don't expect what you are getting now, contract rates are much higher than employed rates.

[Uncle Fred]

A normal engineer can expect that amount.

Is 60K/month before tax a salary of a Manager?

[Uncle Fred]

There are managers and managers from project managers to managing directors, where do you fit in.

[2Sweden]

I fit into the Technical Specialist Role kind of manager.

[Uncle Fred]

So you are not a real manager. I am not sure what you are saying by technical specialist. Is it powertrain, body in white, interior or paint. Is it product development, CAD or process etc.

[2Sweden]

Technical Specialist of an exterior feature - responsible for managing all the technical aspects of that feature (not a typical people manager).

[Uncle Fred]

This gets odder and odder, an exterior feature. Is that one part or paint, I am confused. To manage an exterior feature is strange or is it something new and top secret.

If it is a international company then their HR department will most likely have a salary matrix so that they cannot be accused of discrimination and you will get the salary that has been allocated to your job role. You can always check with Union - but they can only give you average figures.
