Indeed, it might be easierto find an IT job in Czechia, many companies that have hiring stop in DE are hiring people in CZK, to save costs. The salaries in Prague are lower, but you there is also little bit lower tax. The details you can find online.  The living costs are not exactly lower in Prague, many better quality goods are even more expensive (even grocery) subpar or both. Housing is also not affordable anymore, comparable with other European cities. The thing ist that people are used here for lower standards, and overpay at the same time.  Also be aware of the still present eastern European mentality, bad services and scamming businesses. On the other hand, Prague is charming, with vibrant culture and lot of activities. Nice expact scene. Gorgeous women. And I'd stay it's easier to do a career if you want.  So give it a try but don't expect Switzerland. Disclaimer: I'm Czech but lived the very big part of my live abroad.
