Life / Could Poland become an immigrant country? [42]

those people look mainly for benefits, and Poland does not throw money on newcomers

second - there is huge unemployment, especially there is lack of low wage/low requirement jobs, so it would be surprising if Poles would welcome new competition

Law / SKOK Stefczyka? [5]


it is regular Credit Union, just like those in US

Law / Best inexpensive new car? [23]

Fiat

produced locally- so huge aftermarket (also cheaper spares, service etc), pretty good quality

best bang for bucks

also, Skodas are very popular here.

Life / Polish Dance/Techno music [49]

here is few names you can look for:

polish techno producers:

Jacek Sienkiewicz
Echoplex
Jakub Rene Kosik
Osmo

these are genuine producers, not DJs, if that's what you are looking for

Work / My friend is looking for a job in Poland with a physics degree [32]


yes. Actually one of most advanced in the world

ammono.com

they have developed a technology of growing GaN crystals of previously unseen clarity. This is material that will be base of future generations of microprocessors, LED's and hybrid cars - its properties exceed silicon crystals by very far shot.

outrageous thing is:
by the end of last year they were in desperate need for money to keep their patent rights. noone on Poland wanted to help them.

Well, at least we have great stadiums... ;(

Finally a group of people bought them (in January I think), I could not find any information about those people

Off-Topic / When would Poland start to intervene in the regions in order to protect Her interests? [36]

I believe that there are reasons for involvement in countries like Afghanistan

1 - Poland switched its army to be proffesional one. it needs training.
2 - keeping polish military industrial complex alive
3 - for decades Poland had (and stil has) pretty strong 'unofficial' and official ties with middle east countries. we dont know what are actual interests of Poland and with which countries - neither of us has knowledge secret services and government have

look at this:
for last years general skill of polish military forces improved drastically - there are now soldiers with actual battle experience and much better equipment (both bough and produced domestically)

Poland also mainly serves as support force - like training local police and military forces, peacekeeping etc. This actually does not antagonise us with locals, pretty much otherwise

News / Polish immigrants are losing Polish heritage -- a goal? [10]

very often

thats just echo of inferiority complex that so many people here have;
many Poles think that it is this 'polish heritag'e that is reason why living in Poland is hellish for so many. therefore they get rid of that when they can.

remember - Poland is peasant country which elites were exterminated, we will see this crap for many years

Law / IT department (computer programming) - Opening up an Office/Business in Poland [53]


and then those people would have to go to terminal on foot or by bus - in case of 747 it would 3 or 4 buses I guess.. that would be really lame,

But youre right that at this moment there is still not enough demand for that.

Law / IT department (computer programming) - Opening up an Office/Business in Poland [53]

I not so sure, as new terminal will probably allow servicing bigger planes - it also has 'sleeves' - finally. Ryanair.. yeah, people are saying that they often close centres, yet they will surely try opening new connections to see it how works. We'll see.

Law / IT department (computer programming) - Opening up an Office/Business in Poland [53]

thats more or less what I said

yet I would arue with 2 points - access by planes in Wroclaw will probably improve considerably due to new airport terminal that is currently being finished (opening before Euro Championships) and also Ryanair setting its center here. And nightlife (might be completely irrelevant) - I find it more interesting in wroclaw, that is just mater of taste (and probably age ;D ). All in all - both cities seem more or less equally attractive.

When money is good people will simply move. In poland it is not common to disclose wages in adverts, you may try to do so - that will certainly draw attention from people from other cities.

Love / Any Polish Muslim girls living in Poland? [103]

it looks like you also know **** about Poland, you don't even know name of Poland's capital city.

and yes, huge percentage of Poles are openly on secretly xenophobic. Meaning, stares on the street are expected, also verbal agression is very likely. Physical - no idea about this, havent heard about such cases (but also, I havent seen even one woman here dressing this islamic stuff)

Work / In order to work in Poland, do I have to graduate from a Polish university? [10]

demand is high, so even without any formal qualifications you could make decent money giving private lessons. People do have common sense - for them possibility to interact with native chinese is worth much more than any certificates. Just settle in a city that has university with sinology courses (warsaw has one for sure)

Work / Navy Guy seeks help looking for work in Poland! [19]

i really do not think that 'papers' are REALLY that important nowadays in PL. He is engineer, and when 'real work' has to be done, experience and knowledge is all that matters.

one of reasons why so many people in PL cant find the job, is becuse they spent so many time to get useless paper instead of learning something useful. We all know those 'marketing specialists', specialists of 'european integration', or other etymologists. Then they desperately send hundreds of CVs to companies that need people with any real skills.

Language, even simple Polish will be sufficient - simply because almost all engineers speak English to better or worse. I agree with previous poster - you should look for a job in your area of expertise. Reliable and knowledgeable people are sought after.

jobisjob.pl/in%C5%BCynier+elektronik/praca

first from the top.
engineers are needed.

Work / In order to work in Poland, do I have to graduate from a Polish university? [10]

chinese definitely yes. plenty of people interested in this language.

Life / How many people in Poland are atheist/agnostic? [11]

hard to say really

there are people attending churches, just because of peer/society pressure (small towns and villages) but not really faithful. There are people that are believers, but not accepting the Church (as organisation).

Nowadays, i'd say that around 40% is still attending and believing. This is just very rough estimation from a guy living whole life in small provintional town (and working in wroclaw). Number of atheists is growing very fast for numerous reasons (agressive leftist agenda, inferiority complex towards western countries, broadband internet access and just higher salaries)

Work / Expected salary for an engineer in Poland? [24]

so more than 9k net?
you will be one happy monkey.
girls will adore you :D

i'd wish you good luck, but instead i'd ask to spare some of yours :D

Love / Polish men like Latin girls? What do u find attractive in a girl physically & emotionally? [29]

Work / Finding a Job in a Game Development Studio around Krakow [3]

people can fly is part of Epic, so UDK experience may actually be a pretty good skill

Work / Expected salary for an engineer in Poland? [24]

9000 netto will allow you to live comfortable life in PL just about everywhere outside Warsaw
yet, in Warsaw, you can count on higher salaries

yet, as been pointed out, 'I am engineer' is very ambiguous.
for example, software engineer that is types the code is something between 2000-5000 range. But software project manager - 5.000-15.000, so as you see, differences are huge. It depends of what you can do, experience, city, impression during interview... simply everything
