It is not actually, about $416 per month or 176k tenge (local currency) per month. A cook in Almaty, KZ can make between 170-350k according to the local job board https://almaty.hh.kz/search/vacancy?st=searchVacancy&L_profe...

EDIT:

Not saying its nothing, good money but to call it a lot would be an overstretch imho
