If you are unmarried, it should be possible to manage relocation.
But if you have to move with wife and kids then 20 days is too less to wrap up things here.

Worst case scenario, you might have to sleep in park or somewhere, i don't know.

Things will work out fine, don't think too much. Deal with these issues after landing there. What you are experiencing now happens with everyone, I was also nervous when i travelled first time.
You would be fine, don't think too much, just start doing things one by one.

Managers are awarded if they were able to retain some employees.
The only option left to them these days is to create fake on-site opportunity.

It's nothing but just a lollipop, ignore it & join new company.

Management 101 - whenever someone resigns, create a fake onsite opportunity and offer it to the employee.

This whole setup is fake. If they actually need a resource that too on immediate basis of 20 days, were they waiting for someone to resign so that only that person will be sent onsite?, makes no sense at all.

What’s your CTC and are there any offers in hand?
In Frankfurt you will be getting on avg 60-65K euros without kids you will be 40% taxable with additional health and other Insurances on top.
Apartment costs are really high 2Zimmer that is 1 BHK is around 1100 euros with additional utility charges, shared would be around 600-700euros.
So if you plan to switch in Europe you should go else from savings perspective I dont see much here. It you are able to fetch 1.5-2L per month fixed in India stay here.

helpful

Yes , m certainly planning to go n switch after the initial 6 months . Thanks for your detailed advice much appreciated

Leave it. Join the new company.

Sometimes onsite works as a retention tool which manager saves for that perfect moment to retain a worthy employee

Seems lolipop, keep us posted if you take it on the outcome
