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.
