Hi,
I used to live and work in the UK and I am currently living and working in Spain still for the same company I used to work for in London, before they relocated me in Spain.
My initial plan was for my girlfriend to join me in the UK and work there after Romanians were finally granted the right to work freely.
But she has found a job that she enjoys and doesn´t want to leave Romania, even for a much better paid job.
She works in the aviation industry.
For quite some time and well before Romanians were allowed to work freely across Europe,we had the idea of starting a retail clothing business in Bucharest , which she already has experience from and which she says we will really be making the money from as well.
She has a friend who does this busniess( she used to work for her in this field) and she is doing well.
I don´t want to work for a company and be making 400 euros per month, which really makes no sense, as opposed to the salary i am making here in Spain, unless there are companies which pay like 2000 to 3000 Euros per month after tax.
I have over ten yers experience in the Customer Services Industry working as an account manager. Iam fluent in English, French, German and speak some Spanish.
Of course, i would like to become self-employed and have the freedom to take my destinity in hand.
Are there any expats who know or could recommend from their experiences, big multi national companies which pay really well?
I mean like 2000 + per month take home salary after tax for any job that requires language skills couples with account management and customer services?
Also how easy and beneficial is it to start a retail business in the clothing industry, mainly specialised in women clothing and accessories.
Only non-jugemental and genuine replies please.
I need help so that close to the end of 2015 i can start relocating to Bucharest,Romania.
Thanks,
JotaCe

A word of caution-I am Romanian and I am giving you a friendly advice: (call it judgmental if you might) don't come to Romania for living or at least don't commit yourself to anything big before you find for yourself that Romania is the country you want to live for the rest of your life . Ella

Thanks Ella,
I think you are right. I will follow your advice and try to convince her to move to Spain instead.

Hi, I currently live in the United States. i was born in Romania and probably have relatives. I am about to get my TESOL/TESL/TEFL certification and will hopefully find a job teaching in Romania. I have traveled to Italy, Germany, Poland, The Czech Rep and Slovakia. What are some great places to live for a 24 year old, college graduate with a degree in international relations who is serious about traveling and imursing myself in culture.

I am a Romanian who has travelled extensively and I know there is no such thing as "perfect place" but Romania does not come anywhere near the aforementioned concept.
However, being born in Romania and presumably handling the vernacular could considerably smoothen adapting and synchronising with the locals, cultural values (?) mentality...
On the other hand, for a 24 year old could be, if nothing else, another interesting experience to add to your resume. A word of caution, don't build your hopes up, take Romania as it comes and keep in the back of your mind that Romania and its people are still a backward country in many respects.

It all comes down to priorities. My husband is Romanian. I am American. We currently live in the US. Married for 10 years. I've spent a total of 5 months in Romania. I spent 2 months before we got married and 3 months after we were married while looking for work in Europe. I think Romania is a beautiful place and I really have considered living there, but finding a decent paying job there is a huge challenge.
There are negatives, like the public healthcare (private options are good) and things are slow moving when you file any paperwork with the government. Like, trying to get my son dual citizenship - they said it would take at least 4 months and we were only going to be there for 3 months.
In the worst case, if neither of you can agree to where you can live together, you know that means you can't be together. If you guys prioritize one another, you will work something out. Consider her ideas seriously and research them and consider what you were thinking seriously and make a pros and cons thing. There's something about Romanian people, they always felt very welcoming and overall friendly to me. But, that can be true in other places too.
