It's weird that this website seems to target people from countries much richer than Lithuania.

From the footer:

"Work in Lithuania is an initiative of the Foreign Investment Development Agency Invest Lithuania which aims to encourage professionals from abroad to pursue their careers in Lithuania."

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.

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.

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 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 that Lithuania (and Baltics in general) is suffering a lot more for its reputation than it should. Society has developed very quickly the past 10 years and the reputation doesn't reflect today's reality here.

If anyone is interested to learn more, feel free to pm me. We're also currently hiring Fintech Industry Manager to my team: https://careers.google.com/jobs/results/102620285653394118-i...
