News / EU or America - which country is better to work now? [56]

Well, we should define 'real money' first. Take a look at salaries for guys with CCNP + experience:

not bad for me... enough to start business in Poland after a year with good salary in UK.

Forget about the ills of what is going on in GB/USA and come down under!

Sounds good, thanks for your post. First I want to make real money in Europe and set some business. Then i will move to Australia. That's my plan :)

Can somebody tell me what kind of English she is talking? I'm really serious... is it popular form which use American teenagers now? Sth similar to ours 'koffam' (kocham), 'piffko' (piwo/piwko), 'bossh' or 'boshe' (boże) and so on? I must admit it's a bit annoying,

Travel / Visit to Kazimierz Dolny , Poland [14]

Any special things I can see while being there?

Well, when you get bored, you can always visit Lublin, it's only about ~50km from Kazimierz. I make this distance by bike every summer, so it's not so far (but there are also buses which can take you to Lublin) :)

Prices are medium high (when comparing to Lublin for example, but like sb said before... Kazimierz it's rather tourists' town so that kind of prices are normal).

Oh, and there is also Naleczow, but I'm not sure if it will be interesting for you, for me it isn't... but I was there so many times so my opinion is subjective.

My friend has trouble with her Polish neighbours and thinks all Polish people are the same

Well, many 'bad guys' from Poland went to UK, sorry, but that's true.

Work / University professor salary in Poland? [16]

Just keep in mind that in Lublin salaries are a bit (sometime even more than a bit) lower than in most big Polish cities.

News / EU or America - which country is better to work now? [56]

From where? I live in the US and I've never heard people wanting to leave because of the Mexicans...really, it sounds rediculous.

No, no, no... I didn't mean that American leaves because of Mexicans, but only that you have problems with many illegal immigrants from Mexico :-)

UK, Ireland / How expensive is living in UK/London for one person? [23]

Hi - the web site linked beow provides basic cost of living guidelines for London. I presume you have looked into our tax system and know roughly how much of your proposed salary will be taken away from you.

Well, yes, I've already made some calculations including taxes and similar things, but anyway thanks for your willing to help and another useful link.

UK, Ireland / How expensive is living in UK/London for one person? [23]

Manchester is a far nicer city than London, much friendlier and a cheaper and sarlaries are comparable - lots of southerners moving here because there is plenty of work and you get more for your money, plus the night life is the best :)

Well, thanks for info, so I will also consider Manchester :)

btw, what do you think about moving to UK in winter? Some things has changed, and probably I will be thinking about moving somewhere (Warsaw or UK) at the end of a year or in first months of 2008 .... my friends keep telling me that this is bad idea to move somewhere in winter, because there aren't many jobs during the winter season. I'm not sure if they're right, because I won't be looking for season related job, and in IT (in most cases) it isn't important if we have summer, winter or whatever.

Life / what is the best bank to open an acount in Poland [12]

I have Inteligo (PKO BP) and it's ok for me. They have many cashpoints (I would make a guess that PKO BP and Pekao SA have the largest number of cashpoints in Poland). I can buy insurance via their online web system. Many online shops provide you 'Place z inteligo' payment option which make payment fast and easy. I like Inteligo account online system, because it's clear, simple and functional.... well, I would recommend Inteligo in PKO BP.

Life / Polish hooliganism in sport [141]

Yes,and I wonder what sort of women hang out with them..have no idea what would they find attractive

Well, keep in mind that most of them are fit and physically attractive.. that's enough for _some_ girls. That works in both ways of course (the same thing - nice body - could be enough for some men).

Law / What do Poles think of Chinese products? [49]

it will damage your credibility - and gadu gadu isnt the same

I know that using for example yahoo/hotmail mail account instead of one in company domain is sth unproffessional, but using IMs I wouldn't consider as a bad practice.

btw, msn and gadu-gadu are IMs, a bit different, but still IMs.... so why company using gadu-gadu is ok, and one which use msn isn't

How about a lot of corporate firewalls blocking the use of hotmail to stop their employees spending all day nattering to their mates.

Well, in some cases there is sales department and salesmans should have full access needed to communicate with other companies, including IMs.

using a generic email account and wanting to appear anything more than a very small operation is not a wise move... if you are part of a larger company, as the OP is claiming, why doesnt he have a company email

Bubba, he has proff email, take a look at it.

I think that in this topic he gives msn just because he want to talk on IM...

Law / What do Poles think of Chinese products? [49]

I agree , im a dealer and trades man , i use a hotmail account too, and im no scammer :-)

Yeah, companies just use things which people uses .... another example - skype, plenty of companies use it to communicate with clients.
