I am not confident that it would happend, but I dont have reasons to doubt it since it is a big company and it is owned by a bigger company from one of the most "serious" countries in Europe.

Anyways, my floor is that I get away with 6 months of international working experience which is good and my ceiling is pretty high dont you think?

I dont think I am going to lose anything.

Also the offer is for graduates, but I only have left to do my final thesis so they agreed that it was acceptable.

A friend of mine is living in krakow, and I know a girl that spent her Erasmus year with me in Milan that is from bialystok. And I agree with you, the first couple of months you are in a new place you always spend more but I have lived in several different places I have always managed to make friends fast, I am a sociable person.


I agree I will have to pay for the plane, but I have money already. I am not going to Poland for the salary, of course not. I am going to get some more international working experience, and because the company offered me to set up and run an office in Spain for Spainish and Hispano-American market after the 6-months internship


I have already spent time working in the USA, living in UK and Italy, I have made an internship at General Motors, I mean, I do not plan to stay forever in Poland, I just like to travel and visit new countries and I think It will be an enrichment experience.

I have plenty of time of working in western countries after it.

I even have better paid offers here in Spain which I have turned down because I like going out of my comfort zone because I think that is what makes you grow as a person.

Thanks for you answers,

Regards,

Manuel

I am doing this internship because:

A) Get international working experience.
B) Opportunity to set up and run an office of the company in my country, for Spain and Hispanoamerica.

Why do you have such a depressive opinion of this plan?


I will try to learn basic Polish once I am there.

P.S.: I will get to Bialystok on 4th of October, I mean, I am not deciding whether I will go or not, I am going :D
