Getting a job shoukd be a prerequisite of you moving.
as everywhere there is a very high % of unemployment

Find jib before you come - the package will be much much better.

Job is secure, which appropriates to a modest living ( from my estimates) just after some of the basics!

Make sure it has accommodation and flights included - if not then they are trying to screw you already.
the cost of living is increasing - especially if you want to eat like you would at home. Imported products are expensive as is meat.
although electricity and gas are much cheaper
