How is Milan for foreign IT

Richiesta Consiglio

Ciao, I have an opportunity to get a job at an american company based in Milan. Their offer is maybe 50k which is not great, not terrible.

Being a hybrid job, I need to get a rent close by, so I'm expecting around 2000 /monthly and on top some other stuff with food and utilities for up to 3000/monthly costs.

From what I researched, the city is fine with expats, however, the actual IT side inside companies, seems pretty bad, even in Milan. How will like look as a software developer with experience at big tech in FAANG and little to no italian skills?

I am speed running dualingo on Italian, but it's gonna take a while.

Opinions from other IT people of any feedback?

Grazie :)
