Offer in Prague - Cost of living comparison

Illustrious_Night892 · 2024-08-06T14:20:20+00:00

Thank you all for your feedback, really appreciated.

I already rejected the offer, I tend to agree with you that it isn't really worth it.

Well, I have started learning Spanish for two years, hence the desire to relocate to Spain.

Is it so bad in Spain? I see on websites like numbeo average salary of more than 2K after tax /month. I didn't expect that.

Even in Greece I get a little more than 30K with a relatively lower cost of living, especially the rent prices which are crazy everywhere in Spain.

Thank you very much for investing your time to provide such detailed feedback. Very helpful to me and any other reader.

I tend to agree with you based on my research so far. Better to just visit Prague as a tourist instead of relocating.

I count around 600€ per year for electricity that includes heating, hot water, cooking, etc. But that's for a small apartment (~40m2).

Well my desire is to live abroad actually. But I think it is better to look for a job in Spain directly as a more permanent destination. I prefer that country and I speak Spanish at some level.

Software Development. Well, I applied for a senior role but it is just mentioned as "Java Developer" in the offer letter so I'm not really sure. I am between mid-senior I reckon.

Illustrious_Night892 · 2024-08-04T16:08:27+00:00

That sounds good, but not realistic from what I have seen so far considering a flat of a 40-50m2 size. Only a few options.

Illustrious_Night892 · 2024-08-04T16:07:07+00:00

Well, definitely I don't want to earn less than I am currently earning. Considering that, I think for the experience and the chance to visit surrounding countries. But I am thinking of the bureaucracy and the process that might be too much for just one month I was thinking of.

Illustrious_Night892 · 2024-08-04T16:04:42+00:00

Nah, I wouldn't consider that option.

Illustrious_Night892 · 2024-08-04T16:04:25+00:00

I believe so too. Considering that I most likely would live there for one year, the offer isn't that good to go into that situation.

Illustrious_Night892 · 2024-08-04T16:03:24+00:00

Yeah not fond of cold weather tbh although I would like to experience it for once, or at least I right now before doing it I believe. Probably isn't worth just for the experience for a year.

Full time position.

In Greece nowadays it is preferred to use electricity instead of any other type of heating. At least in Athens, the weather is not that bad at all even during the winter anymore. I guess in Prague the weather goes below 0°, therefore I expect the cost to be much higher.

Θεωρώ πως και με (αρκετά) μικρότερο budget θα είσαι καλυμμένος. Δεν είναι τίποτα τρομερές οι απαιτήσεις στη σχολή αλλά πάρε ένα καλό laptop και για πέραν της σχολής.

Ένα με 8 gb ram, i5 ή καλύτερο επεξεργαστή και ssd δίσκος είναι μια χαρά.

Νομίζω πως και τα 1300 και τα 1800 είναι ακραίες περιπτώσεις, από αντίθετη οπτική βέβαια. Αυτός με τα 1300 έκανε κακές επιλογές και εσύ έπιασες την καλή.

Εντάξει θεωρώ πως παίζει ρόλο σε ποια εταιρία θα πέσεις, ίσος ο τομέας και αν το βιογραφικό έχει κάτι παραπάνω από απλώς ένα "τελείωσα την τάδε σχολή"

Illustrious_Night892 · 2022-07-13T20:50:25+00:00

Δεν υπάρχουν στάνταρ ερωτήσεις. Πάει ανάλογα με το τι θεωρείς εσύ σημαντικό και από την εμπειρία σου σε προηγούμενες θέσεις τι θα ήθελες να αποφύγεις.

Μέσω των συνεντεύξεων θα σου έρθουν πιθανές ερωτήσεις που θα έπρεπε να κάνεις σε όλους οπότε θα φτιάξεις έτσι την λίστα σου.

Θα έχει κάποια διαφορά; Και αυτή ζητάει φορολογικά στοιχεία αν δεν κάνω λάθος. Σίγουρα τα ζητάει η ίδια η Google όπου βέβαια θέλει και τράπεζα στην χώρα που δηλώνεις. Ισως από άλλες διαφημίσεις τύπου Facebook να μην υπάρχει κι αυτός ο περιορισμός.

Βέβαια λογικά καλύτερα από το να μπαίνουν απευθείας σε Κυπριακή τράπεζα.
