concierge_intlWhich is better for jobs and living France or Belgium, I am an EU citizen with a Masters in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics and I have some experience teaching maths but I am looking for entry level roles in finance or data analysis here in Belgium and my French is only intermediate level
Accepted answer
map_readerDepends if you want cash now or a bigger paycheck later. Rent is lower in Belgium, maybe 1500 euro vs 1700 in France, and skilled worker median is 50000 euro here vs 43200 in France. But France has more visa pathways, like 9 options compared to 5 in Belgium. People dont post when they find jobs easily so it might look worse than it is. Thanks, good luck
guinness_in_ghentTotally agree with that, thanks for the help ! Do u think the finance sector in Brussels is hiring much right now ?
belgian_skepticMoving to Belgium just for a slightly better job is not always worth it, you have to consider the nightmare of restarting the residency process and learning a new language from zero!
JokingNonnieWatch out with those temp contracts, I stayed with a firm that wouldnt renew my contract and it was a huge risk to my finances.
ExpatsParadiseAgreeing with the person above, finding a junior role is much harder now than it was 10 years ago. Thanks, good luck
NotSoSure_92Living alone in a big city with a car on 2800 euro net might make it hard to save any money !
