No idea what the "normal" salary is for Software developers but you can make a (good) living in Vienna with that money. Depends a little bit upon where you live and so on. Where is your Job, which area (guessing you would like to live not to far ... Read More

Living, traveling with dogs in Vienna by roberto23
Hi, all -- I'm considering a possible job in Vienna. Along with the family, we'd be bringing our two dogs. Can anyone help with these questions: How dog-friendly is Vienna in general? Austria? Can dogs go on public transportation? Is it more ...

Oh, one more thing - if the dogs are so called "fight dogs" or mixed breeds with "fight dog" in them (american stafford shire, pitbull etc, there is a list) you need to get a "dog (divers) license". Meaning you have to take a little "exam" showing ... Read More
