  • At the end of 2018, we interviewed expats with jobs in Prague and Brno. Coming from different backgrounds, they share their experiences and opinions - we interviewed them on how their salary is like, and how they feel about their current job.
    They also compared their living standards to their wages, and the average wages in the Czech Republic. Only about 1/3 of the population earn more than the average wage amount. This indicator does not perfectly reflect the population’s living standards.
    Relocation experts also gave their advice for people who are thinking to move to the Czech Republic, and how to do it smoothly with as little trouble as possible.
    We also get an overview of what the Czech labor market looks like, as well as the Czech real estate situation - with helpful advice from experts.

      There's blank space in legislation for foreigners working here. Your children won't have access to free universal healthcare until you work here for more than 3 or 5 years I'm not sure. So you have to pay private healthcare for some time. Hope it'll change in the future.

      Yes, that's probably one of the reasons. I am not saying we should ban them, but maybe this moving to "cheap country" should be regulated somehow, Praguce center is full of foreigners with foreign salaries so owners of apartments don't have to care about native people with their little salaries.

    I'm thinking of moving to Brno as an Erasmus student for a semester. Is 300 euros per month enough, considering living in a dormitory ?

    • @JobspinCz
      @JobspinCz  Před 5 lety +3

      Hello, thank you for watching the video and your question! Depending on the dormitory, at most you would have to spend 155 euros for rent. This is already inclusive of energies and internet. With the rest of your money, you can allocate between groceries and living costs (going out to restaurants/cafes, etc). Depending on your living standard, you would be able to live comfortably.
      Of course, you would have to take into account as well the transportation costs - a public transport pass would cost 30 euros with student proof (ISIC), and this would be valid for 3 months. Without the transportation pass, a ticket valid for 15 minutes is around 1 euro! - Anjanette from Jobspin team

      It depends what you consider a farmer - if you mean a manual worker in the agriculture industry, its fairly low - around 20-30k czk per month. If you are farmer as in farm owner, it can obviously move a lot depending on your activities and success.

    you must know about the Czech Republic that you may be perjury convicted, without being able to defend yourself in court without knowing that there is a lawsuit against you. You will find out about the court decision, with a sentence "without the possibility of appeal", when your bank accounts are blocked and you will receive a decision on the execution of your sentence. Anything on the current state of justice and law in the Czech Republic cannot be changed, as it would be punished by the European Union as a violation of the rule of law. This is my own experience from 2018 in the Czech Republic.😀👍

      Every school or hospital is good or bad whether it is private or state owned, you just need to find good ones. But dont worry, since most hospitals are state owned you wont get scammed like in US where they do nasty things to make you pay more. You wont also get to hospital looking like in Africa, everywhere should be good treatment and my answer there are good and bad is just mostly about staff. If you want to know something else ask me.
