Field notes

Habsburg architecture, real café culture, and one of the cheaper nomad bases in Schengen post-2024. The historic center (Cetate) is walkable and dense; Iosefin is the hipster-shifted alternative. Romanian DNV applies (~€3,300/mo income, 1-year). Tech scene punches above weight — the Continental and Hella plants attract engineers, and a startup layer has formed around them.
