1. You are mostly right, but you are also exaggerating : in Poland you barely make half of what you get in Paris. (But the cost of living is also way inferior)

2. that's absolutely right, but working in Germany without speaking German wasn't really a good experience of mine either.

3. that's cute. Administrations are horrible everywhere, and it's even worst if it's not your country because you don't know what “everybody knows”.

4. Google is in Paris, but if you're looking for a good job, you probably don't want to work for Google anyways. (At least I don't, since I've had several bad feedbacks from both French or American offices)

5. this is highly subjective, I won't argue over this one.




1. My polish friends's payslips say "nope". [Though there is a big variance on polish salaries from lower to higher.]

2. Just meant to better consider staying or going to a country one speaks the language. No European countries speak or learn french, too badd ^^

3. There are variable levels of challenge. Some of which can be now circumvented with airbnb :D

4. Google ain't -really- in Paris. The first thing that comes up in the interview for frenchies is "that position only exists in Zurich or Dublin or London, do you have a preference?".


> No European countries speak or learn french, too badd ^^

Don't be mean, Belgium and Switzerland are crying right now !


You guys should come to Amsterdam. Vibrant tech community, no dutch required, good salaries (for EU standards) etc.

For app guys, just google Appsterdam if you want to know more...


You forgot the «weed is legal» part ;)
