Anyone contracted in Austria recently??

[pzz76077]

Have a gig line up over there for 12+ months and am interested in hearing from anyone that has any information on ex-pat sites, taxation (the less the better obviously!), accommodation, what to watch out for etc.

Ive searched this BB and several others and not found too much in the way of useful information that is current and specifically orientated at an IT contractor-type audience.

(Note this post is asking for info on Austria NOT Australia!)

Thanks in advance,

PZZ

Had an interview for a job in Vienna last year thought it was a done deal. Did not come through, but in my research I remember comparing the cost of living to midlands or similar nothing like London prices.

Oh Vienna.

What'sa matter you, hey?

When entering Vienna, put your watch forward 1 hour and your calendar back 200 years.

Just being nosey here, but is this Austrian gig in the telecoms sector?
