Thank you guys for the info
No "family" problem here :-) I can pack up and be ready for a 12 hour flight in 2 hours...
How is the tax situation in Europe? My impression is that US is the best (30% to 40%) for low 100K USD.
Any comments?
Also anyone has experience working in Eastern Europe in similar positions?
(Bucharest is only 75 minute flight to Turkey :-), more exotic travel possibilities )
thanks

Agreed, the same with the US. The real money is in the contract positions, VoIP especially. The trick about the high cost of living in the city is to find a company that will pay for travel expenses. Its tough if you have a family though.

Yes if you want to live in the middle of the city! But if you do what most people do, live outside of london and Train in ! I live outside london, I have a large size 3 bed house with a Garage for approx 190K, I live 5 mins walk from a train station and it takes 30-40 mins into London. Again Schools wise, out of London they are better, The best thing to do with London Salaries is work for 5-10 years and save, then return back to your contry or origin with a good ammount of money. At the moment the # is worth almost $2 as apposed to 10 years ago it was 1 x 1.3.
Again, its stupid to live in London unless you absolutely must or want to live in poverty! Again the real money is in Contract roles not permenet position, contracting pays 2 to 3 times more.
Good luck

Asunto: Re: OT Jobs in Europe
Let's don't get too excited...
UK salaries in an "absolute" scale are good, but what about on a "relative"
scale.
1-2 bedroom apartments in decent London
areas sells for around 300-400K pounds (and I believe I'm staying low), and the bedrooms are smaller than my walk in closet. No kidding.
Many of them have
carpet in the bathroom, so prepare yourself to remodel.
Renting doesn't come
for cheap either, many single people rent single bedrooms in shared apartments.
Same can be said for food, whether you eat out or you cook on your own.
If you have a family, public elementary and middle schools are not very good I'm told (it may depend on the district), so many families send their kids to private schools (if they can get them accepted since the demand is high)...since you are not the only one that has to earn a live there, you can guess how much they cost.
Everything else is personal taste. My sister lived there for 10 years and she is getting tired only now...a friend couple who stayed there 2 years only is already making plans to leave.
