Networking in Greece

22 years ago

Hi. I'm a U.S. citizen but my wife is from Greece. We lived there for 6 months a few years ago, and I am familiar with the country and the culture. Lately we have been talking about moving to Greece, but I am concerned about my career. I have a successful career in telecom, having worked for companies such as AT&T and Lucent Technologies. Can anyone suggest how I might contact other professionals in Greece to understand what career opportunities may be available for someone like me? I am learning to speak Greek, but I am not fluent. I am also looking for help in understanding the cost of living. I've heard it's "cheaper", but is it so much cheaper as to justify a 50 to 75% paycut?

I would love to hear from anyone who can help, and I'm particularly interested in learning if there are any groups or organization of English-speaking professional expats in Greece.

Thanks!
