I guess what you are getting there is a decent salary since you say that you are a fresher, if you are talking about U.S. Dollars and not South African Dollar because most of the freshers here in our country will be getting only half of what you have mentioned. Only if they gain more experience they will be paid more than your salary. But there are some exceptions in it too with some good candidates getting more than $1500 per month. So, I guess your country’s payment is better than ours (only if your salary is mentioned in U.S. Dollars)
