Work / What would be expected salary for software developer in Wroclaw, Poland? [24]

@Gosc123456 I'm sorry to intervene, I just needed to state a few things. When a person likes spending money, I can't see how they will be able to save.

I am not a Polish citizen though I reside here and I work in a multi-national company that is hiring foreigners that are earning less then I do, though they are not relying on their families they are still able to live a decent life, as so am I.

They were able to afford dental care, dress, go out and survive - in fact, they afforded even a plane ticket.

I hope my message it didn't upset anyone in any way.
I may not know better, however I'd really like to hear more about such expenses.

Net salary.
I have friends that earn less than half of what I mentioned.
After all, everything depends on whether your choices will be expensive or not and how fast you will be able to adapt to a new currency.

For example I pay rent on a small 2 bedrooms flat with utilities included 1600 zloty which would leave me to about 2500 zloty for expenses.
Driving my car is costing me about 600 zloty per month and I will be left 1900 and my friend is earning 1600 zloty.
So from those 1900 pln, you can save 450 zloty and the rest have it as expenses fund.

It depends what are you expectations and what sort of life-style you are determined to live.
That kind of work position is well paid around Europe and certainly the case shouldn't be too different for Poland.
So I'd recommend you to get interested on how well this job is paid in other countries, so that you will have a compass to know how much you should expect and negotiate.

I only simulated from the experiences I had after living in Poland for almost one year.
The lowest I earned, was 2000 zloty and I managed to survive until another opportunity came among.

Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]

That happened in Poland. I am sure there are two sides of the story, but there has to be a seed of truth to it.

The person was planning anyway to leave Poland.
Xenophobia and discrimination isn't shocking news, whoever it's saddening when you see it developed into a system whose job is to protect its citizens and residents.

@jedrzej I would disagree with you, because I moved here for a job and managed to live a decent life while being able to save money without earning as much as it was claimed here.

And about the media services, per say for internet I got a decent deal 50 zloty per month, unlimited traffic with download/upload up to 170/75 mbs; which happens to be cheaper than my home-country or the subscription I had in Denmark.

Cannot really complain about the food, I mean you can find many nice things but for its sole purpose is more than ok.
Regarding the cars in Poland, similar situations can happen everywhere - not only in Poland, since it is a matter of luck and knowledge.
I wouldn't advertise it so badly, because at the length of my experiences similar situations have happened in further more socially evolved societies.
It isn't a matter of the things that might happen to you, but how you deal with it - as injustice is bound to happen everywhere.

One example of an unpleasant experience is how an acquaintance of mine was threatened and the police's response what that he should return to the country from where he is coming.

Travel / Flight from Katowice to Luton with Wizzair. Best way to book? [3]

Hello,

Usually the bank exchange rates are better/lower, whoever I would recommend her to check the actual rates via internet banking.
The best and easier way to do that, would be simulating a transfer in another currency.

It should be enough. My friend is earning @2500 monthly and she is living by herself.
