Hello all,

I am considering moving in a couple of years. So would love some advice on what I need to consider and the differences please ?

I have moved back from Australia so not averse to moving locations and new culture.

I will look for work I am business consultant specialist in banking and Telecoms.

For Italy not sure where to start I love Sorrento and the hills. Will learn Italian best I can before I move.

Any checklist or consideration points co.panies that take English speaking.professionals.

Thank you in advance.

Short advice:

- find a job in an international company

- travel through Italy and see which area suits you best. Sorrento and the hills might be nice in summer, I am not sure what it is like to live there in the bleak winter

- learn Italian. Rent first.

- research the tax system and be aware of how much money Agenzia Delle Entrate will claw from you monthly/yearly as Italy have one of the unfairest tax systems and tax avoidance is rampant

- think about healthcare which is not the same if you live in Milan or Napoli

- if you have children think about schools

Thank you so much makes perfect sense.

Be careful, check that your company will actually allow the move. I worked for a company owned by eBay - about as international as they come. My move was arranged 18 months in advance with my company, before the sale to eBay... eBay blocked my move as they wouldn't allow me to work in Italy for a company in the UK. My company suggested contracting to which I agreed... eBay eventually (6 weeks later) blocked that too, so here I am unintentionally retired!

Tigerozpom, I forgot to add another thing on the list. When you relocate, make sure you do not live in an earthquake active area.

Isn't most of Italy a seismically active zone?

Sardinia is without shocks. Beautiful island too.

Lombardia (Milan) and Piedmonte and Puglia are pretty much out of the risk zone.
