We make you a spoiler in case you are in a hurry: for the average monthly salary. To fall backwards.
It happens every late summer: hundreds of us find ourselves wondering where we could move to in September. Some of us will change cities in October, others in November, but the question remains the same: it is the moment when those who change cities, or jobs, have to choose where to go.
The choice may not be easy, so advice is necessary. Many people find themselves booking a flight to London or Milan just because, according to rumors, they are the cities where the most work can be found. Well, this is not exactly the case.
To really make the best decision, it is about doing a different reasoning: abandon rumors and rely on data and statistics. London and Milan are, in effect, two European centers where thousands and thousands of jobs are offered every year. But they are not the best areas in Europe to find an excellently paid job. In any case, we should try to find out which European areas have the highest average income.
The area of Europe with the highest average income is Luxembourg: Luxembourgers have an average annual income of more than 90,000 euros. Yes, that's right, about 8,000 euros per month. These earnings are official statistics, in case you had any questions.
And, be careful, depending on the profession, you can have a salary that exceeds 30,000 euros per month. Yes, that's right, monthly. Indeed, in this country there is a profession, that of a doctor, where 30,000 euros per month are the average, not an exception. In this small country in central Europe, doctors are paid on average (therefore often even more) 352,000 euros per year .
Doctors in Switzerland and Belgium are also very well paid. Even in these two cases, the average annual rate exceeds 200 thousand euros per year. An exceptional figure, if we think that these are countries very close to ours, and where it is easy to go in search of new opportunities if you are a recent graduate.
We have not heard much about Luxembourg, it is true, but what matters if we want to earn a high income, and work well paid, is not to go to the cities or countries where everyone goes. In any case, it is the ones who pay the most. In short, if starting in September -or in autumn in general- we want to try to change our lives, we had better look at the data. And not, as happens too often, going to the same old cities.
