Will it be hard to change my location to get a better job?

for example: I am living right in Cairo, Egypt... but I'm planning to move to Milan, Italy, to get better opportunities in my career.

When thinking of moving to get a better paying job, remember you have to compare the cost of living in the place with the salary.
Sometimes the increase in cost of living is more than the increase in salary.
For example, if you're salary is8000 and the cost of living is4000, you save4000.
On the other hand, if you move to a place where you get a salary of12000 and the cost of living is9000, then your savings have decreased to3000,1000 less than the previous job.
Of course you'll also look at qualitative factors too and not just the salary but don't forget to put cost of living in the equation when comparing different locations.

Good luck with the move and hope better opportunities come your way career wise.
- Would you like to get a job in Italy first then move to it? - Have you sent out your CV to employers in Italy? What feedback have you got? - Or are you moving to Italy now without a job? - How long could you manage in Italy without a job, if you didn't get a job straight away? - Have you put saved money for emergencies.
