Well it depends. Is that 4K take home or gross? The toughest thing is rent. You’ll qualify for a studio in any part of the city but if you want something bigger, then you might need to limit certain neighborhoods or rent a condo or apt. from a private landlord who won’t strictly apply that you need to earn 3x the rent. Otherwise it’s enough. Where would you be working? In Center City? University City?

No ideia, the job only says 4k monthly and it's from AIESEC so they didn't share who is the contractor in the job description, unfortunately. I asked their members for more details, but I'm without answers at the moment.

Yet I thank you for your help. I'm not expecting a big place because I don't have children or wife. A small room with bed, window and a place for a PC is enough in general in terms of luxury.

Where could I search for rents before actually going to Philly? Craigslist?

There are some scans on craigslist so be careful there. Trulia and Zillow have rentals, but some small/private landlords are on Craigslist.
