It sounds like a dream, but this is the reality of Luxembourg, a small European country facing an unusual crisis: the lack of skilled labor is forcing local companies to seek foreign professionals.

With a solid economy, known for its stability and high levels of human development, Luxembourg is looking for professionals in areas such as technology, finance and hospitality.

High salaries and attractive benefits

    It's all an illusion... and if you don't have European documents, you can't even hire someone and no one talks about the rents, the absurd price and the difficulty of finding a studio or apartment... and most people earn on average just over 2 thousand with rents averaging 1.200,00... depending on the location...
