Work / Salary expectations for CAE engineer in Poland? [7]

Hello,

I am a mechanical engineer who is about to finish my master thesis at Daimler in Germany. I am an mechanical engineer with a masters degree in computational mechanics. My main field is FEM simulations and I have experience in related tools (Ansa, Abaqus, Ansys, Ls-dyna, Meta post, etc..). I am fluent in 4 languages, German, English, Swedish, and Norwegian. My polish skills are very basic.

I have gotten job offer here and salary is 60000 euros+bonuses.
For many personal reasons, i have considered moving to our eastern neighbours. I know that I have to expect much lower than what Daimler is offering from the reasearch I have done. But further information on the internet is very scarce so I hope some kind soul can shed light on my question.

Work / Salary expectations for CAE engineer in Poland? [7]

I am aware of the fact that in Poland, research and development is not the highest priority. However, there are plenty of job ads that do fit my profile very well. And with my qualifications in mind, i am aiming for at least 10 000zl/month. Am i aiming too high? The simulations that i have done here at Daimler during the last 12 months are many times more advanced than the simulations that the senior engineers are doing. So even though i might be "entry level" on the paper, i do believe that i have alot to bring to the table. There is a reason why a top car manufacturer is offering me 60000 euro a year. Moreover, i am glad that you worry about how much i can save, etc etc, but this was not the topic.

The reason i am considering to move there is because my fiance is from Poland, and she needs to move there for 12-24 months because of family reasons. I do not understand though how this is relevant to the topic. Neither do i understand how my ability to attract women is relevant to the topic. Judging from your posting history, you seem to be very bitter and toxic. If thats how you "roll", thats fine. But if youre unable to skip the toxic remarks, dont bother answering the topic.

@delphiandomine

Thanks for the answer. I am not ruling anything out, i like Poland so if the job is good, i might consider a longer stay. As for the salary, its very hard for me to go any lower than 10000, especially considering how much i am leaving behind in Germany.

Any CAE engineers that can shed some light over this?

Thanks for the responses. I am aware of the private difficulties here, but they are of more private and specific character than career challenges, therefore, i choose to not discuss them in detail.

I will consider this very carefully and see what happens. It all really depends on the job, if i get what i want in terms of salary and type of job, i move. Otherwise, i will probably stay.
