Work / What salary can be asked at IBM Poland? [67]


Yea, it's a pretty good wage, the average wage in Katowice is roughly half of that
Do plenty of research numbeo.com/cost-of-living/city_result.jsp?country=Poland&city=Katowice


No idea, the only thing I know about IBM is that they helped the Nazis in WWII

Go luck making your decision

Work / Life of Foreigners in Warsaw - salary (supply chain specialist; logistics), monthly expenses [24]


It's like I said before y'know, you won't like like a king. It's not a crap wage, but it's nothing special either.

If I was you I'd want more.

Like your rent is going to be 1000-1500 per month.
Food shopping 800-1000 per month
Internet & phone 200-300 per month
Travel (if you use public transport) I think in Warsaw it's 150 for a bus & tram ticket....I might be wrong
Electricity & Heating 200-300

That's your basic stuff

If you enjoy eating out, going to cinema, going to concerts/football matches then you're going to have to add all that in

September weather is usually decent enough, doesn't really get cold until January and thanks to climate change we've having shorter and shorter winters :)

Good luck with your decision

Go to numbeo.com

It's OK money for a single man. You won't live like a king but when you consider that minimum wage in Poland is less than 2000zl you're be OK.

Actually that's gross......ask for me money, tax here is like 20% and I'm sure they'll deduct compulsory health & social insurance from you as well.

Make sure that those charge will be paid by the company.

I'd ask for more money it I was you.

Oh Jaysus yea, I forgot about the Great Irish-Jewish Wars of the 1400 and 1600s.

Of man how could I forget about that?
Like 27 hundred million people died and something like 14 billion horses were killed too.
Indeed it was in the second Irish-Jewish war that leprechauns were hunted down by the Jewish invaders and were exterminated.


with a can of VIP lager in one hand and something else in the other :D :D :D


That's nice though, the cops were probably bored off their faces for the whole event so nice that some people showed their appreciation.
Sure, us lot did the same in FRance a few weeks ago

Certainly, and the cops at home take a dim view of stalking and it's pretty east to get a restraining order. Don't know why she didn't change jobs and get away from him tbh. I mean she was a waitress and waitress jobs in a busy town like Arklow are ten a penny these days.

Been to Germany 5 times this year, I find the customer experience in supermarkets there about 1billion times better, more choice too.

You need to learn a simple phrase.

'Proszę, można otworzyć nową kasę?'

It means please can you open a new checkout....I sometimes get a grunt when I do it but more times than not they ring their little bell and another one is opened whenever someone bothers turning up.

Y'know, I don't blame the people working there, I wouldn't work hard if I was getting paid pittance either, but I'm lucky that I'm in a big city and I can just drive to better shops

Atch I'm jealous

My local Tesco is a nightmare, I prefer to drive the 10 minutes to Lidl than go there. Old people everywhere and the people on the tills must have the education of slugs or something. I spent 20 minutes this morning queuing with 10 others for one checkout while other staff stacked shelves and looked on in slack-jawed wonder. Only for the poor hound had no breakfast I'd have left.

It's a common occurance here too, so usually I do the big shop in Lidl. Also avoid all Beidronkas for the same reason, really slow. I wish they'd bring in those awesome self-service tills everywhere

You didn't ask a question.


There's no question in your 2 sentences. Did you make a typo and leave out a question mark? I made a typo too. We have so much in common.

You also said 'click the appropriate' I guess you were supposed to add a link but you didn't.

Are you drinking already at this hour of the morning? Jaysus, it's well for some, wish I could have that kind of life :D

News / Poland And the Pope: Not Happening, Apparently [58]


I know about 30 people living in Krakow, all of them except 2 stayed. Everyone I know left to avoid it :D

The Polish church doesn't really like Frankie, y'know, he's all about living within your means, being charitable, welcoming refugees. The Polish church don't like those ideas.

Factor in the cult of Pope Karol here and it's really a mess.

Also, the PiS govt predicted 35million people would come to Krakow, it's only something like 10% of that, so many hotel and restaurant owners are pretty ****** off that the've invested monye hopeing for a massive windfall but instead they're gotten nothing more than a normal summer crowd for Krakow.

Lots of factors really.

Personally I think Pope Frankie seems like a decent type of guy, but a priest is still a priest and I wouldn't cross the road to meet him

Life / Hesitation to emigrate in Poland from Singapore with 8.000 zlotys a month job offer [9]


What city is the job in?
Personally I wouldn't move here for that salary. It's not bad, but it's not great either.
20% of that is taced and your rent will probably be 1000-1500 per month, so you'll have approx 5000zl left, take your travel costs and food from that and you'll have (300 food per week & 150 pertrol per week) and you'll have in and around 3000.

So you'll have less than 1000Euro for yourself per month.

Will that give you a better liftstyle than what you currently have?

Certainly not

Chill out mate

I asked an honest question of Crow, no need to be a d!ck. I understand it's your default setting, but we're all trying to be friends here now so maybe you'd like to withdraw your


statement. I find that pretty offensive. I would never call bring your nationality into it.
Sure, I'd call you a clown, but one's nationality has nothing to do with such things.
So please edit or withdraw your xenophobic slur.

It sucks what Poland did on the Czechs, it sucks that the Czech stole that land first and it sucks that the allies went with trying to appease Hitler.

But it also sucks that the allies after WWI didn't allow Silesia to remain part of Germany when the Silesian people in two referendums voted to remain part of Germany.

But, y'know, that's history, we need to learn it and learn from it. Most people don't and that's why we as a race are doomed to constantly repeat the mistakes of our ancestors.

Doesn't seem to be much if any data concerning how many lives were lost when Poland joined Germany to invade Czechoslovakia just prior to WWII

Can't really call what happened 'war' though can we.

They were opportunistic murders by both sides
