Okay. You know Svitavy? I thought so, because it's a small city in the Czech republic. There are about 5 guys there which have bussineses in various sectors. They all know each other. If you screw up badly in one job, you are not gonna get hired anywere. "But why won't you move to Prague?" you ask. Because in Svitavy you get about 13-15k CZK netto/month. Rent in Prague for a reasonable studio apartment is about 11-12k (for reference - 9k for rent + 2,5k for utilities - https://www.sreality.cz/detail/pronajem/byt/1+kk/praha-kobylisy-kubikova/1388243804#img=0&fullscreen=false https://www.sreality.cz/detail/pronajem/byt/1+kk/praha-kobyl...). Realistically the apartment is gonna be higher than that, because there are already 50 people who are willing to pay more than the said 9k for the linked one. You need about 4k a month for food. 500 CZK for phone + internet if you are cheap etc. So in my example scenario, let's say you are saving 1k while in Svitavy, which is about right. You can't just go to Prague for job interview during your day job at a sweat shop. After a year you are gonna have 3/4 of living costs in Prague. If you are anything else than a programmer or IT guy, you are not gonna find a job in 2-3 months, possibly 6. So unless you inherit something or take a loan to risk it all, you are stuck in Svitavy. Have a bit more empathy, nextlevelpíčo.

I don't know what you think you are arguing about. You are just throwing random made up situation about some backward ass town and comparing it to expensive capital city as if there aren't anything in between. I live in a city of ~27k people and I work in the neighboring city of ~43k people. If you are making less than 600€/mo (as you are indicating) then you probably should look for a better job first before worrying about having to commute. Czech is also part of EU, so you can work in better countries if no one in Czech is paying better salaries (which sounds odd). >nextlevelpíčo Calling me names isn't helping your case, buddy.

  I know your type. Names are appropriate, mate. You are telling me to abandon my family, friends and connections I have here... why exactly? So you can keep commuting while I am for remote work? All while telling me to move instead? You, your attitude and people like you are the reasons /r/latestagecapitalism exist. As much as you might hate it, people are more than just a walking commodity.
