Is there a standard salary rise in Poland or in Europe generally ? In Turkey We used to suffer from unstable economy and inflation for long period. So % 20 - 30 salary rise was something expected in early 2000's. Now economy in better shape but still there is a annual salary rise around % 5-10 (especially in IT ). Should I expect same in Poland ?
Pay rise depends on the market. If there is a shortage of labour force, employees are attracted to start or stay working by high wages/salaries. Such a situation happened in Poland 2, 3 years ago, even last year, when Polish economy flourished following the access to the EU but simultaneously about 2 million people went to seek better-paid jobs in the West. Polish companies virtually begged workers to come, and pays rose 10% a year.
The inflation factor didn`t matter as inflation has been around 2-3% annually for many years.
