Eh... It's overrated. The pay is better, but otherwise it is definitely a downgrade. Maybe from east EU, it's a decent deal, from west EU, it's very disappointing. You basically end up thinking "but the money is good" over and over and wanting to go back to actual civilization.
That "money is good" fixes a lot of problems, though.
I've heard that developers in US can even afford a house!?! Crazy, huh, I couldn't believe it either...
I can live a luxury lifestyle in Spain on a budget that would be below poverty lines in the US.
'money is good' until it's all gone in the blink of an eye and you have nearly nothing to show for it.
Exactly. It's an odd type of gambling with your life.
