Work opportunities
I didn't explore any work options.

Personal spending habits:
milan is f***** expensive; most expensive city in italy and top of the range in Europe; housing is a horror - third most expensive city in Europe in terms of housing (after London and Paris)

I wish I had known ...
Again - Milan is ugly and expensive; I thought it would be o.k. because it is in Italy and because of university I preferred Milan to Rome. Now I wish would have gone to Rome.

In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
