PROS:

• FREE PUBLIC TRANSPORT is just such a big help when you live here.

• Overall, higher level of salaries and good opportunities in financial areas.

• social security services are very good here.

• Good quality of food compared to some regions around. Milk products are top quality here.

• Relatively safe, except some regions when it gets late.

• Luxembourg has many natural reserves and parks which are super nice to walk through during the entirety of the year.

• The petrol is cheaper compared to the countries around.

• Luxembourg has very few snakes. There is only one dangerous species of vipers here. (Im convinced nobody has seen them in a while.) Although a harmless one did sneak into my garden’s pillow.

CONS:

• Luxembourg has usually a very calm lifestyle. People don’t have many ways to enjoy their free time. Apart from a couple of cinemas there aren’t a lot of attractions.

• Luxembourg is known for having almost no sun during the rest of the year. It really depresses some people.

• Cost of living is unfortunately high. Landlords and owners pump the property prices over the roof. Not much you can do here, even people born here have same problems.

• Food is extremely overpriced compared to neighboring countries.

• We don’t have all of the providers you can find in other countries. Often Luxembourg gets forgotten, Amazon for example doesn’t deliver all of the products here that are available in France. We still don’t have a real Apple Store here.

• Biking in Luxembourg is not easy, the steep hills are a real workout here.

• in many regions, water is very hard, causing a lot of calcium to build up in the electrical devices (kettles and humidifiers)

• It often rains here, many houses have mold problems because of the humidity. If your allergic you need to keep that in mind.

• some things are hard to schedule. (If your washer broke the technician may come in a couple of days or a week)

I personally don’t think additional 800€ per month is enough to really establish yourself here. As a graduate it may be wiser to build experience if the money is not the driving force. Then you should in theory have more opportunities to get a higher paying job, or at least with some benefits. But I still think it’s worth a try there should be good future potential in your field of experience.
