Hello Folks,

I am from India and recently i Received an offer from a Belgium company,it is a permanent position my parent company will outsource my profile to one of the Belgium's largest mobile telecommunication company ,They are not providing any relocation amount(no visa fees,no airfare,no initial accommodation) they are only providing me work permit.Rest i will be on my own.
As per my discussion with HR my monthly net salary would be around 2500 euros/month + daily transportation + Meal tickets.
I do have little hesitation about this movement as they don't have any relocation policy and i need to take care of everything.
Please suggest and share your views on this?
Should i consider this offer?

Thanks

It's up to you to see where your future is ...
