Hi there,
first post here.
I'm currently based in Leeds, UK and I have the chance to move to Antwerp. I'll have my final interview next Friday, so finger crossed!
The salary should be about 52-54K, I have a wife and 15 months old son. Any idea about the net income? 2000 euros per month to live there (as someone suggested) is quite scary :-O
Thanks,
Massi
New in Antwerp

Thanks Armand.
Another question: what about childcare there in Belgium? is it usually as expensive as in UK?

Hi realmassy,
You should start a new discussion concerning childcare in Belgium on the Belgium forum.
Thank you for your comprehension,
Regards,
Christine

I guess your net would be around 2300, no more. Do not know about child care in that area, but I am sure you will find more info once you settle. Good luck on your final interview.

Thanks WorldExpat. This matches, roughly, the amount I thought...which unfortunately is less than my current salary.
Hopefully the interview will be so good they'll raise the offer ;-)
