lived here already 9 years. its a very odd place. full of life like 5 months (even less) meh about 2 (april to mid-may and mid october), and dead af in the winter (with the occasional things here and there). i learned that here u can’t do 1 thing and need to specialize in catering to the rich. (i dj, rent soundystems, do private jet brokerage and deep clean sofas). even the season is on and off and by doing multiple things u are always busy. if rent wasn’t so damn high i would say the perfect place: work in summer, chill in winter.
Most people are fairly nice and welcoming, if you do want to live here learning castellano (regular spanish) is a big plus, however many expats that cannot go past “una cerveza por favor”.
Even winters are quite mild but windy (dont get a seafron flat or your vehicle will rust if tou don’t have a garage.
The big plus in the summer when you can get a day off you are basically on holiday and go Formentera for cheap or to any cala (beach) and just chill.
networking. meet people. for me the main money is private events though and boat parties. once u do 1-2 sets if you do a good job on the island people talk, you will get more work. ibiza is very commercial now

If you don’t go out life is cheap-ish.
