I've just been offered a job in Barcelona on a 6 month contract... 13:04 - Aug 14 with 9092 viewsJackSted

Should I take it? My boss came up to me today and said they need someone to move from our London office to our Barcelona office on a 6 month contract. They said I am their number one choice and I'm just wondering if any of my fellow TWTDers have any advice, e.g, if any of you have been there (or lived there) before?

I'm only 20 years old so it's not like I have a wife and kids to leave behind haha

UPDATE: I've spoken to my boss and have accepted the offer. They're still considering other options at the mo but they will get back to me tomorrow.

Ive been to Barca a couple of times and from my experience its a great city..... and even has a beach.

All things being equal I would say go for it. I'd rather go there than the middle east.

Will language barrier be an issue?

From what I'm aware most of the 200 people in our Barcelona office speak English as a second language

Assuming it's not a short term contract replacing an existing full time position, you do it.
In fact even then, do it. Barcelona's a great little city.

I'm assuming you still have a guaranteed job somewhere at the end of the 6 months?

If so then of course!

Just to hammer the point home, it sounds a great opportunity and the fact that it is only six months means you have a defined route back if you don't enjoy it - you may find you have the opposite problem then!

I think Barcelona is fairly expensive but if you're used to London then that won't be too much of a shock.

Regardless it will be good experience and a nice thing to put on a CV.

What do you do as a matter of interest?

I'm an ICT technician. We already have an engineer in the Barcelona office but apparently it's getting more difficult for him to be able to manage 200 clients so they need one of us there for 6 months to help him out.

Two options here
1) Say yes
2) Think about it, then say yes

I assume they offer some sort of relocation package. Accommodation etc. Just ensure the company will handle (i.e. pay for and/or sort out) any taxation advice (which normally kick in after 183 days but not that clear cut), or legalities of working in Spain (do you have to register, healthcare etc)
