I recently received two job offers and I'm feeling quite torn about which one to accept. Both positions are in Europe, and I'm looking to relocate from my current remote work with UK companies. I was born in the Balkans, so this would be a new experience for me. The first offer is for a young researcher position at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. They are offering around 1400€ net per month, plus transport and food allowances, which could bring my total to about 2000€. However, the role is onsite and I’m concerned about being tied to a 9 to 5 schedule, especially since I have ongoing UK projects that only require 1-2 hours of my time daily. While I've heard great things about Ljubljana's infrastructure and healthcare, the low salary and onsite requirement are significant drawbacks for me. The second offer is from a well-established telecommunications company in Bratislava, Slovakia. They are offering 4000€ gross per month and a 5000€ relocation bonus, with the added benefit of fully remote work. This option seems financially better, but I’m unsure about living in Slovakia compared to Slovenia. I really wanted to experience life in Ljubljana, but the onsite requirement is making me reconsider. I could use some advice on how to weigh these options.
