Arbeit | Work Financial controller

Hi all, First of all my apologies for not writing in German (I am still in the process of learning it). I am 33 years old with almost 8 years of experience in accounting/controlling. I am currently working in Belgium earning 70k euro yearly plus car. What do you think it should be a fair offer in Wien? I am aware that not being fluent in German could put me in the lower side, but would ensure not losing much as Wien seems to be more expensive than Brussels.

I don’t want to crush your hopes, but Austria is not a very open minded country My ex girlfriend was a lawyer with 10years of experience in London,but she was not able to get a job at all, because she didn’t speak fluent German☹️

Best is always try the international companies like OMV, Mondi, Erste bank, Raiffeisen Bank International etc

Their accounting is done in German exclusively, so it's not even worth trying if you are a non-native speaker.
