Job In Paris?

Question

I got a job in paris downtown. I will earn 30000EURO a year. If I am single, living in paris, how much money I will be able to save with very basic and normal life. How is the tax / medical insurance work there ? I am thinking wether I should go there or not as I am already working in US.

Answer 1

If you make 30,000 Euro, that 's equal to 44,350.37 USD. However, living in Paris is not cheap. Obviously if you live in Paris and work in Paris, you certainly do not need a car because you can use public transportation. They have one of the world's safest and most efficient public transportation systems. Trains usually arrive on time; buses are well-appointed and clean, and commuter express ("RER") trains service the city's most important stops in record time.

Housing would be tough but if you live by yourself, you only need a one bedroom studio. You'll have a chance to travel through Europe not just in France because you have plenty of time to do so. Their requirement is 5 weeks vacation in a year. Hop in a train then you can be in Southern France, Spain, Italy etc... at no time.

My family lives in France. Medical is taking care by the government so you don't have to worry about it.

You DEFINITELY SHOULD GO. This is a chance of a life time. Don't pass it up. If you work in another country, you're more valuable for the company who hires you. Besides, learning about other culture, you would appreciate the opportunity that other people may never have. Don't think twice, just go. I would.

It's hard to save money if you live in another country specially in Europe. Don't think about saving, think about how much you learn, see, experience that's worth much, much more than saving right now.
