Yeah that's why I rejected it. I'm a Ukranian national and that was a remote job at a Ukranian company, and I had to reject it because I live in Canada. But now I think maybe it could have been worth it to accept it and just move to like Poland or something, but you never know.

500 USD/month it's enough to survive in Poland anymore. Minimum monthly wage is $1173 before taxes or $883 after taxes and that's not enough to make a living if you have to rent.

Rent even in Romania is like 400 euros and you don't even get a good area / all that great apt for that. I rejected a job for 500e even in 2018 in Bucharest.

I pay around 700e per month (all expenses included) for a 2 room (br + living room) in a 2000+ apt building 10 minutes away by scooter from the center of Bucharest right now.
