http://www.moraviaworldwide.com/Careers.aspx?CultureAlias=en -US maybe worth a try, they do software localization. A fair few companies operating out of Brno these days and thats only going to grow. Dont be put off by lack of contact from rec agents, they arent so keen at the best of times.
The best piece of advice I could give you is thats its probably easier for you to get work if you are here. Moravians tend to think Prague is a long long way away so being in the US isnt ideal. |

speaking english in brno is a crime punishable by instant excommunication. further, in 18 month, i did not even hear one word of german spoken in brno and the austrian border ( german speaking) is just a short drive away. you have been warned. |

Since most people in this country are athiest I do not think the threat of excommunication is an incentive to speak English or German. |

If you want to know how much is the average net salary in IBM delivery Centre in Brno please be very careful with this company! They tell us that the salary will be 1100E/month but it is gross salary and when we arrive there we was informed that the net salary will be 875E/month. So you be aware! |

Ehmmm, IsoGen -- there are things like Social Charges and Taxes that come out of a gross salary in most countries. The gross amount is usually quoted in any salary discussion - so I wouldn't be so hard on poor old IBM. |

About IBM, yes they offered 1100 Euro but Gross and health insurance. If you go to the Czech Finance Site, you can calculate you net income wich is 800 Euro (24K Czk). |

Ask IBM's hr department to bill you as a independant consultant (Zivno) and then you can take care of your own taxes and not lose so much to a Czech pension you will in all liklihood never receive. |

I think you are from RO, and because of the Czech law, IBM cannot hire you until you have the livin permit for czech republic, and for that they are using ManPower so they can hire you somehow. |

Guys (and gals, if you're that way), 24 000 Kc net in Moravia and Brno gets you a long, long way in terms of quality of life. And the babes.... sometimes I think I should go to work there for free... |

Hi from IBM.. lots of words about it and Brno i see. 24 000 Kc is a very nice sallary around here.. Life in IBM and Brno is very nice in overall and it is planned to grow a lot bigger (they are building 3 new buildings as we speak and have already surpassed 1000 employees). Is it worth it to migrate from the UK and USA? Hmm.. personally i wouldn't do it, especially if you can get an IT job in those two countries.. It is quite nice to start your carreer here though , 5 years in IBM at the right position open up a lot of doors. The only downside to signing up to work with no experience is that you don't get too much of a choice in which department you end up.. so inform yourself a lot before signing up. |

Yep. 24 000 CZK net is fine. you can get a nice 2 bedroom appartment which you can share with mates for 10 000 you get meal vouchers which covers at least lunch a glass of beer is 20 CZK (Beer drinkers paradise). If you get some good contract with as to where you want to work (Do not let them write down "IT specialist" but rather "Networking/Unix, Windows, Mainframes, Groupware ..... spec", or Helpdesk). Do not expect to save a lot of money and come home rich to USA. Usually peaople move the other way around to achive that. But you can afford a nice 3 weeks holiday from that money and the working hours are strictly 8 hours a day. no more!!!! yep and you get 20+5 days yearly paid leave. These are facts. No encouragements. Call the local http://www.natek.cz/. |

I have been approved for Brno too. But i want to be clear for the money that are in it. So, if I settle for 1100euro I'll get 800 or 24000 CZK and that will be enough to have a good quality of life, right? Because on my first conversation with a man from manpower I've agreed for 700euro per month as i was told that the average salary in CZ is 650. But as I see it show be at least 1100. And is this 1100euro salary for IT specialist 1st level position? Pls help me with some advices because this decision will change my live. |

1100 Euro a month is fine for living in Brno. You'll definitely be comfortable.
Manpower for sure is the most incompetent group of people I've ever come across.
You will definitely need to get a work visa. Manpower or Natek should help you this process. I'm pretty sure finding accomadation is up to you! At least it was for me, unless they changed their policy.
A word of advice: DON"T TAKE THE WORD OF ONE PERSON WHEN DOING SOMETHING FOR THE VISA FROM MANPOWER. ASK SEVERAL PEOPLE, AND WHEN YOU GET CONFLICTING ANSWERS, CONFRONT THEM ABOUT IT.
My work visa took 2 months longer to get because of the idiocy at Manpower.
If you have to go to an embassy, GO TO VIENNA, Bratislava sucks. In VIenna they have this woman, I think Monika, that checks over everything before you submit it so you know everything will be ok. They are too lazy to do this in Bratislava, and then they may not even call you if they have a problem. Plus, once I submitted my paperwork at the embassy in Vienna it only took six weeks to get it.
Good Luck to you all!!!! |

Jaya, a really nice single bedroom apartment you can get for about 7-11,000 in Brno (50-100sqm), depending on the size, if phone, internet, etc.. are included. I don't know if you'll be working nights or weekends (which mean bonuses), but if you don't have any bonuses you should take home about 20-21,000. With bonuses, it could be up to 25,26.
I do know there are a few Indians working at IBM here but not many, probably no more than 10. There are several that study at the universities here. But I bet they all go to a great Indian restaurant called the "Taj" in central Brno.
Hope that helps. |

badboymir,
I don't know where you will end up working, but if it is for IBM I would ask for a higher salary, at least 700 Euro net. 570 Euro (15,500) is quite low for IBM.
YOU CAN live on 570 Euro in Brno. Your rent for an ok, but not great apartment here will be about 5-8,000Kc (180-300) for a 1+kk, but possibly a 2+kk, including bills, but may not include internet. You will probably spend about 3-4,000 KC, including going to restaurants every now and then. The you will need about 1-2,000 Kc spending cash for your phone, going to bars, transportation.
So after all that this leaves you with about
3-4,000 Kc. If you make a major purchase of some sort, say a TV, that means you won't be traveling anywhere or buying anything else, and vice-versa.
You can have a good, and fun life in Brno on that, and possibly afford some small trips around the Czech Republic, or Slovakia, but that is about it. |

sosic,
Oooo, I don't know. You should have negotiated the salary before you started the visa proceedings.
You can always ask them for more because you have not signed the contract, but at this point I doubt they will change it. But TRY!! |

Just make sure you show up to Brno with at least 800 Euro to get started: fees for your apartment, money to carry you until your first paycheck. |

I sold up in the UK - went debt free - bought a property in BRNO - and have been working here with my future wife since last October.
We love the place - we have only had a few days of rain since Jan 1st and its humidity is typically 30-45%.
We eat out EVERY day at one of 30 restaurants within 200m of our front door that do 2 course meals at lunch for 55-75Kc (2-2.6 Euro) Beer 500ml is 15-29Kc depending on brand. Soft is 15-25Kc for upto 500ml (KOFOLA - 500ml local draft soft drink 15Kc, not everyones taste)
We buy local produce from the market in town and have light meals in the evening at home(sometimes getting bread and pastries at 50% off during the shops happy hour - e.g. pecan danish for 11Kc)
Outside of the "daily menus" there are several exceptional restaurants where you can eat nearly everything at world class quality for 1/4 to 1/2 the price. I have never eaten so well for so little.
It costs 5 euros to get to Prague or Vienna to see concerts or for a bit of culture. In BRNO have seen operas for 7 euros, WTCC for 8 Euros, Shaolin Monks, Japanese Drummers amongst many other things and we are going to see the rolling stones this month. BRNO is on the route of many major tours because it is between Budapest/Bratislava/Vienna and Prague. In fact I have seen more quality entertainment here in 9 months than in any nine months of my 34 years to date.
Cinema is 1/3 - to 1/2 the price of UK and you get all the major releases - saw Die hard 4 last week, the one downer for me is that animated features are in czech.
With 6 (yes six) universities in town the atmosphere is youthful and vibrant. Shopping is global but the city is not a clone city yet and has many boutiques.
Public transport is the best i have seen anywhere in the world. For less than 40 euros / month you get unlimited transport on trains, trams, trolley busses and busses in the city - and it is truely integrated - we almost never wait more than 4 mins for a connection - normally immediate - and the night busses run though the night for those having a late nighter at any one of a host of places open till 4am or even 24 hour.
Sports facilities are great with the pool costing a 3rd of my local in the UK and a much higher standard. You can easily do shooting here (not in the UK) and if you own a car (not us) you can even pay a reasonable fee to take it round the Grand Prix circuit.
My advice is to try and rent a property in the centre of town. You will then have fantastic access to restaurants, entertainment and other facilities. We pretty much walk everywhere.
We have felt very secure here both day and night. But we have never been in the East of the city late at night which is meant to be the worst place - so don't know.
There is a great zoo and museums and gallerys in the city and the parkland is beautiful varied and well maintained - with great and seperate areas for dogs and children to play.
5MB Cable with 32ping is 37Euro/month
In the winter you can ski - though we only had 8 days of snow in BRNO last winter.
If you don't get a car (and you won't need one - they are cheap to hire when you do) and your NET earnings is 875 Euro/m, you would have to earn at least NET 2625 Euro/m I recon to have the same standard of living in the UK. Sadly in the UK one has to own a car - so the comparison is difficult. I recon you would have to earn 35,000+ pounds/Year Gross in the UK to have the same standard of living. The thing is, when I was earning that in the UK - I didn't feel as well off as I do here. Probably because of the congested roads, crappy trains, lack of affordable stuff to do locally and long hours I worked.
I hope this helps.

Finally, this is best review I've seen. So, you're saying with almost 900E/m NET I'll be able to get a decent life, right? What if I'm bringing my wife with me? |

Just know this, the average Czech has a decent life on 16-21,000 Crowns per month.
If you also have a wife, and if she won't be working, you probably want to get some more. |

I have read some very encouraging things here.
Is anybody hired at IBM Brno helpdesk? Maybe romanian? I was offered this job by manpower but so far they only offered about 900E gross which is not that much. Will I be able to negotiate a better salary for this position? |

Hi there from Romania! All this infos are very useful. I was sent an e-mail from Manpower for an IBM customer support help desk job in Brno. I am now waiting for their call. I hope they offer a good salary, maybe 900E, but net. From what I see, 900E gross won't be enough to spare some money. |

hi, I got an offer from IBM (position Infrastructure services).. but in the Manpower they said me that the gross salary will be maximum 800E (22 000Kc)and I dont know what to think about it becouse you have talked here about higher amounts. Do you think I should negotiate higher salary despite what manpower says? |
|

|
Sun Oct 21st 13:15 2007 / #74 |
yes, you should negotiate a higher salary Bendzi.
Manpower always tries to lowball people with the initial offer.
Is that position Level 2? |

Hello guys and girls,
I know this is an old topic but I would like to ask those who said they were recruted by IBM if they are pleased with their lives in IBM and Brno; the salaries you got were they enough to support yourselves? just like you I was recruted by manpower for ibm and I would like to know if it is worth living my country and family for this job |

Mon Jul 21st 02:06 2008 / #80 |
eeek.
Seeker,
Jesus, Manpower is really low-balling everyone.
That will be about 16,000 net. That is actually quite low. If you get an apartment for yourself, it will be about 6-8 for a good apartment, about 4-5 if you get a roommate. Your going to spend at least 3-4,000 on food alone. So if you are going out to enjoy the town, or just buying stuff in general otherwise you won't be left with much. You will not be able to save a lot, for sure.
I'm curious, which language will you be speaking for the help desk position? Because if it's rare, you could probably ask for a higher salary if you haven't signed the contract. |

Tue Jul 22nd 15:11 2008 / #82 |
hhmmm, well, it's up to you.
I think they is a little too low for comfort. You could probably find a similiar position in Prague for 30K net.
If I were you, and you are happy where you are at, I wouldn't move to Brno for that amount of money.
If decide that you can do without the job, I would just tell manpower to give you at least 22-24 net or try to find someone else. Then you'll see they might be willing to negotiate. |

Brno is a great town if you wanna get tanked on good beer and dance all night long. ;-)
Anyway, if you can get a job offer from IBM, look into jobs in Prague. For sure you can find better paying jobs. And many sections of Prague are almost as cheap as Brno. |

Hi, I have been offered to work in Brno with a salary of 47K CZK ( Netto 34 K = 1360 EU after cutting health insurance & taxes ). With the discussion above I can see I will be spending somewhere around 500 EU per month living. Company flat will cost me around 5-7 K Czech and the job offers states that company will pay 50% of my meals plus my mobile bills.
Since I am coming from Pakistan and have got an offer here as well I am interested to know how much I can save at the end of the day.
Difficult question but if somebody can answer .... :)
Also I have no info which airline will take me from Karachi to Brno? |

ladybird79, there are several people here from Serbia and Bosnia, and also Macedonia, Montenegro, and Croatia. There are probably somewhere around 100 ex-Yugoslavs total.
CodeRed, I think with that salary you'll be able to save about 16-18,000 crowns per month, or around 700 euros. You'll have to fly to Vienna or Prague.
Brno does not have a major international airport. |

Hello everybody.
My situation may be a little different than most of you. I was actualy born in Brno and lived there for the first 18 years of my life. Then I moved to the USA where I have been for the last 10 years. I am returning to Brno in 3-4 months and from what I am reading I will be taking an 80% pay cut if I get the average wage (20k-25k CZK).
I am not an IT person. I have been working in the finance industry here in the US. I am wondering whether IBM has any non-IT managerial/sales type jobs? Any feedback is much appreciated. |

rossilvr,
IBM has managerial positions periodically open, and I'm sure you would qualify. Plus, most of these salaries talked about here are for help desk and lower IT positions. With a management position, and your experience I think you could get anywhere from 40K - 65K at IBM.
You could go to Prague though and expect to get a salary of 60K - 100K with IBM or some other company depending on how hard your willing to search negotiate. In any case, yes the salaries are lower, but the cost of living is much lower than the US (East/West Coast especially), and expect to have about a third of the workload on the job.
You are at a huge advantage being fluent in Czech and English and having I assume at least 5 years work experience, and American work experience at that! |

Thanks fatman!
Made me feel better. I've also shot you an email.
The more I am searching the more comfy I am. I have an MBA in Finance and International management on top of my experience in banking. Most banks/companies are going through hiring freeze due to the ill-timed (for me anyway) world crisis. But fingers crossed. |

Hi all,
Very interesting things have been mentioned and i apologise for trending on old ground here but i have a few q's. I'm wondering if anyone here has relocated from the UK to Brno through the source network? I'm looking into a job which is paying 35000k a month which seems to be plenty just for me. Has anyone else used the source network? its strange as the job offer iss from a large recruitment company. ANd also.... what part of town would anyone suggest to look for a rented place? I'm thinjking i'd pay up to 15000k a month . |

I see here the last review is posted in April are there still jobs in Brno (big companies like IBM and AT&T) or is it also slowing down because of the economy?
I am curently in Canada originaly from Serbia and i started applying for IBM jobs (thats the only one i can find on the web)however i dont see as many any more as i did a year or two ago. Is there any other web sites or any other companies in Brno thatyou can recomend where i can apply or find some job postings. The few that were sugested above (back in 2006) are all empty. I am a senior Network analyst with over 12 years of Canadian experience. Thanks for any info. |

I've been offered a director job in Brno. Package is CZK 150,000 per month after tax basic salary, CZK 40,000 per month rental allowance and a company car (Audi A6). Bonus is up to 5 times basic salary. By UK standards I thought it was not bad but based on this thread and comments about cost of living I'd say its better than not bad. Is Brno still a cheap place to live? By the way, my wife is Czech and my kids bilingual, which will help us to settle. |

Hi everyone,
Can you tell me what is the average salary for an Oracle DBA at IBM in Brno?
Thank You. |
|
fatman

Sat Apr 30th 14:39 2011 / #101 |
Slash, the salaries for Oracle DBAs at IBM in Brno range from 35K - 55K per month, with MOST of them between 35K - 45K. If you have any certifications you could probably try to negotiate a higher salary, but it's definitely not required to get a job there.
Spartan, I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you are an IBM employee, or contractor, and you recruit someone, yes, you can get a bonus. I'm pretty sure if you are external to IBM, you can't get something.
JimBoy....OMG, that is an incredible salary. Everything is going to be cheap for you. What exactly are you a director of? |

Hi guys.
Some very nice info here for foreigners. I am however living here in Brno for some time, and also looking for a job. My problem is Im nowhere near IT education, I finished arts (animation actually). Animation jobs in Brno are extremely rare and everything is in Prague. Im considering moving to Prague but cant just yet.
Anyways, is it possible for someone like me with no experience to work as some kind of 1st level support in IBM? Or just about anything else:) I heard they are not hiring ATM?
Thanx,

Hello,
I am from Seattle, US and I have been living in Brno for the past 8 months I'm fluent in Czech and know a little Spanish. I have had no luck in finding a job here, I have had a (brigada) job as a laborer making about 4 times less than I did back home. I tried IBM, FEI, Manpower, CPL and I have sent out my CV to lots of different companies. I have no experience in IT and I have only been in the electrical trade, problem is that in the states there is no real official Bach. or technical degree with this kind of work. I have my 02 residential license but I am open to almost any work at this point. I have looked into continuing working as an electrician here, but that will take some time just to convert and understand the Czech codebook and aspects of the system here.
I am a young and open-minded person willing to do almost anything now. I am living literally off the scraps that I brought with me here. Please help.
Thank you,
T. |

Hi all,
Hope this post post finds you well.
I was offered a job in Brno, for 46k/month CZK (about 33755 Kè to my bank account every single month and I am wondering if I should accept it.
Salary calculation by:
http://www.euroekonom.cz/dane-kalkulacka.php
and
http://www.finance.cz/dane-a-mzda/kalkulacky-a-aplikace/mzdovy-kalkulator/
Could you tell me if this offer is good or not, and if I can survive there (in Brno) for this amount of money?
