@reemal According to the Austrian government you need 950€/month to survive in Austria so that's enough. Germany has cheaper places. https://studyinaustria.at/en/living/living-costs/

@reemal Not drive, use metro/tram/train which should already be included in your student fees.

@resjudicata Universities in Germany usually offer or have the option accomodations. Especially in Berlin you would probably stay in a student dormitory and pay 200-300€/month in rent with water, WiFi, electricity included.

@asperd I got this but stocks are up all around the world almost everywhere close to pre-covid levels. Why would anyone invest in gold now

@o_mlly No idea why people invest in gold either, he is not the only one I've seen here. I mean generally I know why, safe asset, but so little money and as a long term investment is just a bad choice

@themadbaron There are more perks like health insurance and social security and pension. You can claim unemployment in Germany after the PhD.

@kint They want to pay less taxes. Morally I don't like it but up to you. If I were you I would tell them that if that's the issue you could just take a lower Net salary. It's legal but it's shitty
