How to find a job abroad and is it worth it?

Question

Career in IT

actually how to find a job abroad and move?
I looked at the salary of programmers in Europe, they offer 3000-3500, is it worth emigrating, or is it better to earn 2000 here?
PS. I am a lone wolf, there is no one

Answer 1

You don't look at the total amount, you estimate, the real capacity of this money.
Here is an approximate breakdown of the money of a young engineer in Germany. (By the way, a salary of 3000 euros is the minimum that a university graduate receives.)
Salary - 3000.
Medical insurance - 150 of your salary, 150 is paid extra by the employer.
Taxes - depending on the tax class: 800 - 1200
Apartment rent + communal apartment from 300 to 700 per person. (Option of hostel - 200)
Travel - 100 If you start the car - maintenance (insurance, parking taxes - from 200 per month without gasoline)
So consider what will remain with 3000 thousand,
but !!!!
A pack of milk in Germany is 50 cents, a loaf of bread is 1-2 euros, etc. Products are on average 2 times cheaper, all medicine, including medicines, is covered by insurance. You will only encounter the police when you need help, or in TV shows, any small city official will actually serve you. etc.
It's up to you to decide, but not everything depends on the absolute salary figure

Answer 2

Was in a similar situation not too long ago. They offered 80k dollars a year in the USA. At first I thought that it was not worth thinking about, but I thought well. From 80 to deduct 30% tax. That leaves 56,000 a year, or about 4,700 a month. An apartment in the state, where they invited in a more or less adequate area, cost 1000. I counted about 200 for travel. The insurance was paid by the employer. For food 600. Entertainment another 600. Everything would be fine, but I also have a wife. She will not be able to work there unless she finds an employer willing to accept her. Accordingly, more or less normal insurance is needed for her. And also communication costs, you will probably want a car, clothes sometimes, a utilities. As a result, less than 2k remains. But with all the expenses, without moving anywhere from Russia, I have 2500 left. to go only for the sake of moving if it's stupid for me. In any case, it's good where we are not. The bottom line is that you yourself must assess the need. I realized that for me it is better to work remotely and be free in terms of choosing a place than to get a visa and sit in an office in Europe.

Answer 3

About five years ago I thought about this question and found a very good answer. Then there were no hard fines for not wearing a seat belt in the car, and the answer that helped me make the decision was: "If you get into the car, you fasten your seat belt, then you will be better off abroad." As for money, you can provide yourself with approximately the same standard of living both abroad and in Russia.

Answer 4

It depends on a lot of factors:
- can you live in the chosen country at all, taking into account the fact that laws and customs can be very different from ours? If so, will it be comfortable enough? Can you find a social circle for yourself there?
- Do you have a family, children? If yes, do you take your family with you, and what will it be like for them there?
Is there anyone left to take care of the parents when they get old? You may not be able to bring them with you. And whether it will turn out and whether you want to return is unknown.

Answer 5

For a complete picture, compare taxes and other payments, there is enough information on this topic.
Do not exclude the option of remote work, there are enough vacancies in general.

Answer 6

The question is not completely complete.
If you have a high school and a specialty that is in demand, then you can get a Job offer simply by sending out your resume to 1000 Western IT companies. I think the probability is 1 in 1000 that cool IT people are given a job offer. Read the forums on emigration, there are a lot of different stories.

Answer 7

Euro or dollars?
Worth it, of course.
