What branch, if you don't mind me asking?
I work as a quality engineer in a company that manufactures laboratory equipment and medical devices.

I’m gonna be welcomed to the world of Portuguese wages and taxes. Gonna make less than half of what I got paid in my last job, but then I won’t have to pay $4 for San Francisco toast anymore.
Niiiice. Everywhere is cheaper than San Fran to be fair :p

Or Copenhagen or Oslo or Paris.

All American cities are cheap compared to the civilised worlds ditto.
:agree:

All in top ten:



It ranks 133 cities based on a twice-yearly survey, collects more than 400 individual prices across more than 150 products and services, including food and drink, clothing, rent, transport, utility bills, private schools, domestic help, and recreational costs.

In my experience Iceland and Luxembourg made be feel like a bum, Switzerland in general was ok price wise when I visited, even though it was like 5 years ago, dunno, maybe it has changed
Living... the rent of my flat tho :(

How much do you have to bleed?

The prices in CPH are crae as well. I can rent out my spare bedroom for 600€/month. We are talking 12 square meters and I live on the outskirts of Copenhagen.
1700 SFR (something like 1450 Euro) for my 2 room-flat (something like 40 square meters I think). What is actually a good deal for the area I'm living (hipster area with lots of Cafés and Bars).

Iceland is not cheap. But Luxembourg? I think that place is actually okay. And the weird part is you like Switzerland, which is expensive as fuck in my experience :D.

The housing market in London must be on the verge of collapse. It just has to be, because of the law firms alone.

Many London based law firms charge absolutely exorbitant fees. We have cases where they charge no less than 400 000 Euros for the same work we do for 8 or 9000. Living in the UK is more expensive, but not that much more expensive. In fact, litigation over there has become so expensive, that after the original case, there is almost always another case involving purely the costs of the first case. It is ridiculous.

And it won't hold forever. It is bound to collapse at some point.

well I haven't been much to the expensive side of Switzerland I guess, been to a few classical music festivals. Lucerne and Thun was fine, Montreux was expensive though, but they also paid well :D but yeah, in my experience Iceland was not pleasant for my wallet, made me understand why Sigur Ros makes such gloomy, whiny music :p

Yes wages are higher and we don't have to pay as much taxes as f.e. @Zacheryah. But in the end of the month there's not much left, due to the expensive rents, food and everything.

And for 1450€ you may get a 80-90m² 3 room in provincial towns or in the suburbs.

You'd prefer the more expensive Banker area, or the suburbs, or the HalliGalli redlight area, or the area of families and old aged people, or the industrial area? :shifty:
