Prague
If you are single, its not a bad place either, as long as you are not a dribbling drunk sweatstained yob wearing dirty jeans and a smelly football shirt.Originally posted by bogeyman View PostIf I had a chance to work there, I'd jump at it, frankly.
On average the girls there are mighty fine.
Not sure what it would be like to live but certainly slightly cheaper than other major European capitals, and its a beautiful city.

A lovely city.
Never worked there but spent a few happy holidays there. It's getting more and more expensive of course and is somewhat blighted by hoards of drunken British yobbos on stag/hen events lately I am told.
If I had a chance to work there, I'd jump at it, frankly.

I was going to go, but at the last minute it all fell through. Sort of a cancelled czech.

£400 / day in Prague's very good.Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostI live in the UK so wouldn't be interested in flights to and from Geneva.
I'm expecting it to come in at £400 a day if it comes off.
The average earnings in the Czech Republic are ~£900 month although in Prague it's a bit higher (~£1100).

I think Sockpuppet worked there for a while. Perhaps you could drop him a PM?

If you're getting paid Geneva money then go for it, you should be able save a lot of cash.

From what a mate who lived there for a while tells me (I cisited him there as well), it's pretty expensive in the middle/touristy bits but gets markedly cheaper when you stay in the more real bits.Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostI'm currently plying my trade in Geneva and I hate it. I have the possibility of something in Prague and thought I'd check with you lot for the low down instead of making the same mistake again. So what's it like to work in Prague? How expensive is it to rent somewhere? Is it expensive to eat out/go out etc?
I went there a few years ago with the wife and really liked the place but I suppose things will have changed a lot since then.
Think it's good generally, but the bureaucracy used to drive him absolutely mental. To the point it made him leave.

For rental places, I'd recommend sreality.cz - note: they've got a section in English. As there's such a huge expatriate community there (mainly American arts students "finding themselves" (*******)), two websites exist that would be of use:
www.expats.cz
www.prague.tv
