Wow you have to have a graduate degree to even be an eligible employee, never mind.
As it should be. We don't have people calling themselves engineers just because can type a few lines of code.

Had to work in England in the 90's for a week and the bus on the route I used was blown up two hours after I got off by the IRA. All the London landmarks were patrolled by army soldiers with rifles. Everyone can get used to almost any circumstance, the odds of being a victim of a terror attack are miniscule. I'm much more likely to get hit by a drunk driver in the USA.
I refuse to accept the "you are more likely to die in a road accident" argument. Simply refuse. Ironically the terrorist attack in Berlin last December was initially categorized as a road accident.
I've been working on relocating to France, and while I'm very excited to do it it's been frustrating to try to get information about this program. People don't seem to know what documentation is required, and replies come after weeks (if ever) from government bodies.

Edit - it turns out that the link I put here is actually for a private company. I haven't had any luck finding a more official link for information. If you can help, I'll update this.
Note that this is (one of many) websites made by private companies that try to appear as official as they can without being (and collect some "fees" on the way). I would be extremely surprised if there were actual employers on that site or if they would actually provide a useful service regarding the real application.

I don't understand this kind of negativity and frankly, this is an incredibly weak comment because of it.
So negative comments are weak comments? If you like your information sugar coated that's fine but I prefer my discussion open and honest after all.
Negative comments with absolutely no further information don't add anything more to the conversation, and they have the potential to create paranoia where none should be.

No, around 40k€ / year, before taxes.
The minimum salary for people who work in France on this Visa is €53,836.50 by law. The minimum legal salary for people working on H1B in the US is $60000, but in practice, the salary is of course much higher. This isn't going to draw very many Silicon Valley engineers to France, but it could bring some people to France who failed to get an H1B.

Rent is far cheaper in the U.S. My last apartment was $450/month for 600 sq ft in a good neighborhood. I paid $650 for less than half of that in rural France. Food is probably cheaper too, though not as dramatically. I'm sure there are lots of perks to living in Europe, but rent is not among them.

Many indians know English, but how many of them know french. It's hard to live in a country without knowing the language.
