Work / Senior Game Developer in Warsaw Offer - Questions [10]

Hi,

I've received a job offer in Poland with a net salary of 8800 PLN per month. They will also cover my relocation to Poland as well from the US.

Is this salary good for a Senior position as a single foreigner in Warsaw?

I will also be traveling annually to the US and Asia to visit family, would I be able live well doing that while saving saving 20% and living in city center?

How are the costs of electronics and media compared to US or Europe?

Thank you!

(remade thread as I am not a Java Developer).

Thanks for the reply! Luckily my lifestyle isn't that elaborate hah. I'll probably be expected to work 10-12 hours a day as that's unfortunately standard in the industry. So rent is expected to be 4-4,5K PLN or is that the expected salary per month to rent an apt in city center?

That's giving me a better understanding of expectations with living expenses. Yep, and most of the results led me here hah. A lot of cost of living comparisons have been inaccurate between our cities, so it's good to get answers from people with direct experience and residency in Poland. There hasn't been a lot of Americans with questions relocating, but this is very helpful!

That is an incredibly extensive breakdown for Americans Dominic, thank you for your fantastic reply. This will definitely require more thought about the offer and where my priorities lie in status bumps or monetary concerns.

I suspected the buying power and cost of living adjustments was a bit inaccurate, but that's surprising. Are newer studio flats around the same as well? I've found some online that look decent and start at 1500zl, but I've very little knowledge when it comes to housing in Poland. Thanks Harry for that insight.
