I Need Your Honest Advice

**I would really appreciate some honest advice from people living and working in Bulgaria. 🇧🇬**


I’m currently working in Morocco as an **HR Manager**, earning around **€1,810 net per month** under a permanent contract (CDI).


I’ve received a job offer in Sofia for a **Trust & Safety / Content Advisor position, working with French and English**, with a basic salary of **€1,125 gross per month** and an 18-month fixed-term contract.


The opportunity would allow me to experience living in Europe, but the position is outside my field of expertise, and the salary would be lower than what I currently earn in Morocco, even before considering the cost of living in Sofia.


I’m trying to understand whether this move would make sense financially and professionally, or whether staying in Morocco and continuing to develop my career in HR would be the wiser decision.


**For those of you who have made a similar move or currently live and work in Sofia:**

- Is it possible to live comfortably and save money on this salary?

- Looking back, would you make the same decision again?

- Do you think moving abroad is worth it when it means accepting a lower salary and a job outside your career field?


I’d genuinely appreciate honest opinions and personal experiences, especially from people who moved abroad from a country where they already had a stable job.


Thank you in advance! 🙏
