Work / Moving to Poland to work at a company (Warsaw or Lodz). Average expense per month? [57]

Thank you for all of your comments
I will be getting some thing around 5000-5500zl
so i guess people who mentioned that expense can shoot up to 5000 zl , i guess i could save very less than :(

What i got to know by some research is
Rent - 1500 - 2000 zl which includes all sorts of bills (electricity, water and other )
Food item - 600-800 zl
Travel - 200 zl
Other expenses - 300 zl

That sums up to around 3000 -3500 zl

Please let know if this is correct calculations

Regards,
Paritosh

Hello Dominic

My Medical insurance is also provided by the company , so i guess that expense i can remove
But I understand what you are implying here
I think I will be able to cook for myself 4 -5 times a week
so I can save a lot there
Can you give me some more information regarding rent agreement and other formalities?

michaelk

you are just one step away from becoming an SAP consultant yourself... ;)

I think since I will be alone there so I guess will have some time to cook.

Also, you are right , I will ask my Polish colleagues to help me with the house or will post an ad here itself, so if owner may respond and provide me the apartment for rent


Thanks for the website, it kind of sums up all the things - necessities.
I need to plan as to how much I will spend

Work / Moving to Poland to work at a company (Warsaw or Lodz). Average expense per month? [57]

Ohh so you mean to suggest that my 5000zl will be spent for sure , any how :(
That is not a good news on the perspective of doing some saving

Work / Moving to Poland to work at a company (Warsaw or Lodz). Average expense per month? [57]

I did some calculations on my end as to how much I might have to spend, please correct/add/remove whatever you think needs to be added

Rent 1800
Fitness 150
Movie 50
Transport 100
Milk 28
Bread 30
Rice 60
Tomato 30
Potato 16
Water 50
Beer 90
McD 170
Restaurant 200
Coffee 200
Internet 60
Utilities (Electricity, Water) 350
Mobile plans 120

As this sums up to around 3500 zl per month

I am confused now.
I have accepted the offer to travel, so I do not have much of an option.

Also, assuming if I stay for a year , probably they would increase the payout for me and also experience would be great to be a part of a new culture.

I have seen few apartments ad here
bezposrednio.com/mieszkania,wynajem,warszawa

which means i will get apartment at the max 1600-1800 zl + utilities which usually cost around 500 zl ( at the max) + internet is cheap as i have checked few places (75 zl) for that

then transportation for 400 zl and 1000 zl ( which i think is over estimation ) for food .
So around 3500 - 4000 zl

Thanks, that is 200 zl less than i expected.

May be, you are right but then I have to do it. I might not able to save much if you suggest that way. But seriously, I will have my hopes low, so I might be able to save a bit more than lets say 10000 zl a year.

Thanks for the information though.

kepler

Thanks for pulling me out of depression. but as you suggested that if you live with someone, you can save more.
I think I need to put another post of finding gf on this forum ;) :D

Please tell me, what will be the complete cost of a flat in Warsaw - assuming the utilities will be around 400-500 zl including czynsz

Work / Moving to Poland to work at a company (Warsaw or Lodz). Average expense per month? [57]

I agree - sharing a flat will be a problem with me, for security reasons as well as some where because I am a vegetarian.

And I assume there would not be a lot of vegetarians in Warsaw or whole Poland as I have seen few threads here on the forums

Hello

I checked that my gross salary will be 8000 PLN

Love / Indian girl met a Polish guy and got pregnant. He doesn't want to marry me and my visa expires... [14]

I think unless you dont apply/extend your visa, it is not possible for you to stay.
Also, you have ten months to clean up the mess, try finding some way

Thank you Dominic for the response. I totally agree to that, I am still negotiating with my manager, hoping to get a better pay, as I have some 20-30 days left before I leave for Poland.

Hoping that I would get the same.
Also, since this is my first outside country assignment. I am currently fine with it.
I am sure while working in Poland, i would learn more depths of SAP, which would help me grow.

One more question, I would ask here is that is there any website where I can give advertisement that i want an apartment , so that i may fix an appointment when I visit the country?

My company is providing me a week stay in Poland to find apartment

And what is the lease period. Is it really need to be for one year or we can get it for six months or nine months ?

I am already joining a company as a SAP consultant and currently not in need of the job :)

But with the thread advice , I would surely start one.

Real Estate / Recommend good residential areas in which to rent an apartment in Lodz? [24]


Could you please give more information on this?


Also, will this be fully furnished

Real Estate / Recommend good residential areas in which to rent an apartment in Lodz? [24]

As checked the place where I will be working is Oddział, Aleksandrowska, so is there any good location near this, or is it in the city center.

If there are direct buses to my office, I think it would be better that I can stay in a good locality.

Real Estate / Recommend good residential areas in which to rent an apartment in Lodz? [24]


No, but my office is near Przedszkole Miejskie nr 30
I am not supposed to tell my work place name

Is it possible that they can tell if there are any indian grocery shop in Lodz


I think it is better for the living place to be calm.


Are these buses and trams always very crowded or for certain hours in morning and evening, is there any other mode of transport?
Do we have metro trains?

Also I would like to know if there are good hotels too, nearby?

Real Estate / Recommend good residential areas in which to rent an apartment in Lodz? [24]


Do you know a name or most people would know about it and direct me there?

Also about the heating and everything ? I mean how to check the same?
What all should be in line or what all should i check before finaling any apartment?

I hope you get my point,
also as I see many have suggested that I should have one of the polish colleague with me when searching for a room, but just in case, if no one is available, what should i do in that case?

Real Estate / Recommend good residential areas in which to rent an apartment in Lodz? [24]

DominicB : Is not it difficult to find right guy to help me with searching for apartments ? I mean a person can be con too, hope you getting my point. Also, if i am staying at a hotel, will someone in the hotel would guide me. Because logically I would not no any one there.

irishlodz: My company's office is in Warsaw and the client's office is in Lodz. It's kind of last minute change, that i need to work from Lodz now. That is why, I was bit tensed.

Real Estate / Recommend good residential areas in which to rent an apartment in Lodz? [24]

Yes, will try doing that.
Hoping that things pan out easily.
Important thing is i am not used to that much cold.
