I wouldn't consider this job unless it's $150,000+ but not sure if it would be or not. Why do they not list the pay?
$150K, for a junior, in Romania? Are you kidding? Even Manhattan doesn't pay that for a junior position. Remember you can buy a farm here for $16K.
That's the point. Living costs are peanuts compared to Germany, UK, US etc. And Salary is virtually always proportional to living costs.

Yup. Plus standard/quality of living is far higher. You can definitely live better in Bucharest on the same money than in Texas, the lowest cost of the US. And salary converters often say you need to triple your income to justify moving from Texas to Minnesota. It's all relative.
In Bucharest you don't need a car, ever. Not many places in the US can boast the same. A few, but not many.

I know. Our next vacations will probably be in East Europe: Romania, Slovenia, Tzech Republic... somewhere there. Lovely places.

Those communists sure knew how to build depressing overbearing architecture

Um.... those were built in the 1800s before Communism was even in existence.

@MattSpeller use Google Street View. Drive through Prague for example. Those "commies" know how to build wonderful places.

Hmm ok fair enough, but my point stands

Oh, don't get me wrong, they made some nice stuff for sure. Check out Russia's train stations for example. Still they remain "grey concrete box" world champions.

I like my views better, right off the national forest. Night time you can find deer, fox, bear and other animals in my yard.

Not as many bear as you can find here. Romania is the world leader in bear.

It might be blocky, but it is pretty cool nonetheless. Not nearly as blocky as that Pentagon thing in the US.

That's why I love Western PA. Deer just walk through our yard (we have too many though), I've seen quite a few foxes, I could do without the groundhogs though.

Wish we had lots around here, I enjoy target practice more with reactive targets and a farmer (and his barn cats) paying and cheering me on

Well we can't legally shoot them whenever we want, unless it's harming your income (like a farm). However, in the middle of nowhere, we take care of them.
Sucks as a kid riding a three wheeler though and your front wheel going in a giant hole.

And that pay would also mean you couldn't travel as you'd never have enough saved up for the costs in the rest of the world.

Sorry, it is "Tschechische Republik" in German. Oddly, my spell checker didn't complain.

Actually you could, quite easily, and people do. For one thing, the pay in Romania is 10x (yes, ACTUALLY 10x) higher than several of its neighbours. Romania is the highest income in the region. And cost effective travel in Europe is easy, this isn't the US. Sure, visiting the US is harder, but that's about it. Getting flights and trains from Bucharest are super cheap and go to tonnes of extremely affordable places. Travel only seems expensive because of how Americans do it (mostly due to distance and not being used to travel so not knowing how to do it effectively.)
And remember that Romanians get holidays, REAL holidays. So while you earn less, you work less. Your work days are shorter and you get lots of vacation time. So taking a trip doesn't require that you stop getting paid like it often does in the US.
