Wait, really? That’s incredible! €1-2k for a 2-3 bedroom apartment in Vienna? You would barely see that anywhere in Canada, let alone a major city.

The same is valid for Munich. 2-3 bedrooms plus dining room is <2k here. However it’s not the best apartment in the city, rather okayish. Also it’s hard to hit 5k after taxes salary limit here.

  Wow. Out of curiosity is Berlin the same price as or more expensive than Munich now?

    Munich is the most expensive city in Germany, i believe Berlin is 3rd or 4th. EDIT: according to this Berlin has the 4th highest rents in Germany https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/1885/umfrage/mietpreise-in-den-groessten-staedten-deutschlands/ https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/1885/umfrage/... (€ per square meter, for 2-3BR - which Germans call "3-4 rooms" - you can for ease of calculation assume 100 mˆ2)

  It is absolutely possible to get more than 5k after taxes as base salary in Munich as a true senior software engineer. Lots of what TFA calls "tier 3" companies are in Munich.

    Could you please share some information regarding these companies? I know one - Apple. But 5k is not their base salary, it’s lower with ton of stocks on top.

      Google is hiring in Munich too. I couldn't find public salary information on salaries there though. I'd say it's competitive enough that I'd be willing to relocate from London there. Disclaimer: I work for Google. Words my own.

        Thanks. According levels.fyi L5 might have this base salary. Funny thing is that none of these salaries are for the roles working with hardware. As electrical engineer I am sad about this situation.

    The climate will be perfect in another 50 years.

      The climate in BC is already perfect IMO and has milder winters than central Europe.

        *Southern BC and Vancouver Island It's a big province. Winter sure isn't warm north of Prince George.

        Fair enough, but the mild areas are where most people actually live.

It's not that incredible considering availability, requirements, time from arrival to country to getting the keys, etc. But yeah, once you are renting it, it's pretty nice until you have to move.

You can find that in most cities. 2,700 Canadian can rent a house in Toronto if you leave the downtown area.
