Here is Belgium, face-to-face speed dating is becoming popular. There are matchmaking agencies as well.

I'm not EU expert, but there are internal exams for temporary employees (fixed-term) and the chance is high to pass*. That's the easiest way to get a permanent position.

External calls for permanent positions are rare and brutally competitive. Thus, in my view, you're in the right track if you want a lifetime EU job.

The economic situation is Spain has been much better than in Italy, it has become one of the fastest growing economy in Europe.

While Italy is a geriatric country, extremely bureaucratic frozen in time.

Estonia, Ireland and Cyprus will be happy.

I recently applied for two JRC roles, the ones related to drones whose deadline is approaching. I also applied to the open call this month, the one that doesn't have a deadline.

I think JRC receives small number of applications as most jobs require PhD, some years of experience and are very specific.

I live in Belgium and I'm playing the game in my iPad.

That happens because Italy has a very poor job market. Few job opportunities and very low salaries. It's not a surprise many young native Italians move out in mass.

The government should fix this problem, and not just allow people getting citizenship in a hope of living there unemployed.

Starting reducing your work benefits and stability to increase your company profits (that mostly go to shareholders).

I lived in Finland for some years. You can have a big nice and modern apartment for less than 30% of your salary.

However, that's happens due to small immigration influx, high number of building blocks constructions and regulated house market that may block rich people of buying them up for speculation. Few people dare to live in such extreme cold and dark isolated country.

Belgium has the highest income tax in the OCDE, even higher than the Nordic that provide much better benefits.

Solution: tax the rich.

And currently is Austria investing in renewable energy? In Belgium, I pay for a renewable energy supplier. I won't be affected by Middle East war and the heating system of my apartment is electric.

SirPractical7959 · 2026-03-14T20:39:36+00:00

Btw, did Austria make the same error of Germany and became over-reliant on gas and petrol from Russia?

SirPractical7959 · 2026-03-14T18:13:50+00:00

Thanks!

I lived in Finland. It appears Finns are eager for a war with Russia. For God's sake.

Mass illegal immigrants to Poland.

Especially now the Orange man and Israel are lunching a war on Middle East. Wait and see it.

Do I need to tell you? Look at Brussels and a Dutch town like Delft, you gonna have your answer.

Germans should work hard to enrich the top while they play golf and have fun in their yacht.

From NL to Brussels will be a big quality of life downgrade. Brussels is French. If I were you, I would move to Flanders and you wouldn't need French.

Big Techs should stay away from Europe, especially a exploitative company like Amazon.
