The big question is that how much pay cut are you willing to take? Surely this will not match what people are getting on other richer countries in the EU.
I moved to Vilnius from Sweden four months ago and enjoying it a lot so far. A lot of the things from the website are true - low costs (I pay 500e for 2-rooms in city center), very safe city, lots of green. Can get anywhere within 30 min and I walk to work every day. Working in here might be a pay cut but the low costs make up for it. Tech is much more well-compensated here than other industries. My perception is tha…
I can't help but notice the absence of minorities on this website. Edit: Like it or not, people of different colours bring culture and a welcoming variation to a city. I get it, the French are minorities in Lithuania but you're nitpicking, being ignorant and missing the point. There are 12 picture with exclusively white people. Why would any who isn't white want to move there is that's the only group represented.

Not to mention remote work for the US. You get 5 time the french pay in the bay, 3 times if you remove health insurances, taxes and retirement savings.

I take argument, and actually some offense to your comment because there could definitely be maligned groups in the website. Polish people deal with discrimination in many parts of Europe even today, and Lithuania has a history of this (read about the Lithuanization of the Polish). I have Polish ancestry and have been in situations where I've been told to keep quiet to avoid problems.
Skin color doesn't always show the battles that people fight against discrimination every day.

So, how did you figure out from the photos that those people are not among Lithuanian minorities?

What do you mean by "minorities"? Do you mean "non-white" people? If so, then sure, but most of eastern Europe is fairly homogeneous in terms of skin color.

What do you mean by that?
The financially smartest (IMHO) way is to live in .lt when you have a remote job/contract.
* I pulled up numbers about Nuremberg which has roughly the same population, average income and average apartment costs are, relatively speaking, the same. However as mentioned above you will safe less towards retirement in absolute terms, limiting your choices later on.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
And then one can live anywhere they please :)
Maybe get a remote job for the US and live in Lithuania. Win Win.
Only if the company is willing to go through the legal hoops to make this happen.
