I moved to Barcelona after finishing University in the UK, the pay is pretty good in multinationals taking into account the cost of living but the rent has been soaring recently. The weather is nice too.
I used to live in Edinburgh and that is also an excellent city with a much better cost of living than London and still pretty good companies and salaries (including the financial sector). Doesn't have such great weather unfortunately.
- phakding 8y agoWhat's the higher range of the salaries in Barcelona. I work in USA, east coast and with 10+ years of experience, salaries can go as high as 200K+. How does this compare to Barcelona or other European tech cities? I am curious.
- a-saleh 8y agoIn your case I would try to relocate. I worked at Red Hat and from what I heard you could relocate from i.e. US to Czech republic and retain your salary. This was rare and I am not certain about the specifics, but I have seen it happen several times.
- phakding 8y agoUnfortunately, I don't work for a multinational.
- alexgmcm 8y agoI would guess 60k euros maybe 80k if you are really good or in some niche or 100k in management. Life is cheaper here, but not that much cheaper. Europe in general is just bad for tech salaries as opposed to the US/Canada though.
