Work / Poland - Expat Careers [26]

i think general dictionaries are fine. how about , if you live abroad and want to call yourself an expat, go for it. I prefer to call myself an economic immigrant ( coming from a dying superpower an all...)

USA, Canada / Polish or American Education? [180]

a lot of science programs in the us require a bit more focused course of studies if the student wants to finish a b.s. in 4 years. a bit more like the polish system with the general studies classes interspersed. for chem its usually chem 1 and 2 freshman year and calc. 1 and 2 maybe bio 1 and 2 , physics. year 2 org. chem 1 and 2 . maybe calc 3, differential equations . year 3 inorg chem and p. chem. year 4 special interest subjects, more math, chem and physics. deviating even one semester puts you behind.

USA, Canada / Polish or American Education? [180]

i know the ivy league makes exceptions on certain things if they want you for whatever reason. a family member of mine cant write for anything, spells like a punk-rocker, but is decent at math and really good at football. got a scholarship and everything. i suppose a big donation to the uni would get your kid in as well.

Law / I am an American citizen seeking a temporary redidence card and a work permit in Poland [4]

yep. unless youre rich and looking to invest you need a job. you can open a sole trader company but you need to show that it's earning money ( min. 5 ķ zl. a month would be good) , teaching english is probably your best shot.

Travel / Białowieża National Park in Poland [461]

i dont see whats so hard to understand about the old growth forest. there are loads of forests in poland but only bialowieza is generally untouched by humans thats why it's always been special, thats why people want to see it. even logging it sparingly for whatever reason messes up the whole thing. not "getting" this seems ridiculously thick.

News / Brutal rape by Polish man on homeless woman in Rome [50]

i'm liberal but these polish criminal threads on the polish forum really do seem like liberal scumbag moves.

News / Brutal rape by Polish man on homeless woman in Rome [50]

why would someone say that the assailant was polish when the paper said "thought to be polish"?

not if he's married to a polish citizen

you should be fine. just make sure to apply for residency based on your marriage once your here.

Real Estate / Contact from a Łukasz Mróz about Krakow property inheritance is this a scam? [20]

wouldnt visiting krakow for a few days be the easiest way to handle this and make some real progress? it seems you almost certainly have more to gain than the cost of a ticket and few nights in a hotel.

Law / Are nazi tattoos in Poland legal if they are hidden? Can they still get you in trouble? [11]

that's what i was thinking. a trip to poland is the catalyst for getting it removed...?

that seems about right for them.

News / Tragedy of Polish couple; Polish woman repeatedly raped in Italy, her partner almost killed [101]

apparently the recent attackers in spain were "well-integrated" into the community yet still chose to go through with it. it seems the "we just need to help and integrate muslims more" argument may have some holes...

Real Estate / Mortgage for foreigner in Poland - experience anyone? [13]

i think youll be fine unless youre looking for some exhorbitant amount. eu+decent job+down payment, should fly even with those dutch bast***s 😊😊

Real Estate / Mortgage for foreigner in Poland - experience anyone? [13]

are you eu? which bank? ING wont loan a dime to americans. Mbank --never asked for a home mortgage but they are easy about all other loans. expect to wait months and even when your approved they might not release the money for a couple more months. if your wife is polish and has a decent job you should be fine.

Life / So this question has to be asked: who runs the underworld in Warsaw [18]

its mostly the illuminati. they've got their fingers in everything man! elvis and john lennon used to run it all but they got too old.

at mbank you can drop the insurance after 6 months. its just a way for them to make extra money. i think this game is wearing thin with borrowers so they are backing off a bit

if there is a group the conductors/inspectors often let them go. unless the police or straz kolejowy find them, it's often not worth the hassle of dealing with.

Work / Paramedic salary in Poland [69]

nothing that he mentioned in the last post makes me think it's a good idea to move. rather he should focus on building the relationships he values at home. moving will make it worse. there are no magic values here that you cant find anywhere else.

Work / Paramedic salary in Poland [69]

what makes you think moving to a different country will help you and your family values? just curious? if you want to work less and spend more time with family, you would probably have better luck doing that in ireland. moving probably wont help in those departments. you create your family not society(mostly)

Work / Paramedic salary in Poland [69]

not everyone is poor and bitter in poland some of us language teachers have come and done ok. making a fortune? no. but ok. saying someone cant make it is just being overly dark about the whole thing. of course this fellow needs to think about what hes doing, but i suppose any move abroad requires that.

Work / Paramedic salary in Poland [69]

so quick to write others off. what a miserable lot some of you are. if the guy wants to make it he will. i know people who have been here for over a decade and are still banging on in language schools, others came sniffed around for a few months and opened their own schools. whether he goes this route or any other it will depend on him to make it work but saying he'll never make it.... just....

Law / Girlfriend moving to Poland for work - how can I get a long term visa? [7]

it isnt so easy. more paperwork and fees plus youre taxed on the money coming in and when you pay your employees(or yourself). possible but a much tougher path than the sole trader

Work / Paramedic salary in Poland [69]

i dont know where youre getting your info. rates are going up in warsaw for teachers worth their salt. people are quite willing to pay for better service. bottom feeder teachers can still make it with high turnover of students. are you working here?

Law / Girlfriend moving to Poland for work - how can I get a long term visa? [7]

canadians cant open a dzialnosc gospodarcza. only an llc which is more complicated.

Work / Paramedic salary in Poland [69]

plentyof people in warsaw make 8 to 10 k gross a month teaching english. most english students want more than a 20 something year old med student who knows nothing about communicating the language. if this person is willing to combine the medical knowledge with a drive to teach, theyll be ok here, the market is in no way saturated.

Work / Paramedic salary in Poland [69]

honestly, you'd probably do better teaching english. you could sell yourself a medical english expert if youve got some drive. the language issue will disqualify you from working in your field. youd need near native level fluency. no sick person wants to deal with someone who they have limited communication with, plus it would open you up to all kinds of liability issues. lecture about medical stuff in english? who would hire you? maybe if you were a visiting doctor or surgeon but short of that no one will care.

Law / Setting up small business in Poland? [191]

if it's a dzialnosc gospodarcza, sole trader, paying 900 euro is a total waste. As long as youre eu or american it's basically free to start. go to the ceidg website and register online. go to your local townhall and sign the confirmation you registered, then to zus to confirm again. done. oh, open a business bank account at mbank or millenium (easiest in my opinion) if you still need help with a sole trader i'll help for 600 euro .
