Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]

Thanks for the advice. I don't have an IT degree, but this isn't my first job, I have two years experience in marketing.

I am aware that support positions have moved to Poland and Eastern Europe, because wages are much lower. The reason I decided to look for a job outside of the Netherlands is because there's an oversupply of college educated people and employers are very aware of this.

In the Netherlands you can only get short term and/or flex contracts if you start out, often replacing you with a new employee as soon as your contract runs out, so not really attractive either.

I guess I will have to start making money with my own business with customers in western countries.

Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]

I have recently moved from the Netherlands to Katowice to start working as a Partner Service Advisor (b2b). At this time I make 5000zl gross, this includes a bonus for being a Dutch native speaker, which from my understanding leaves me with about 3500zl net a month.

I believe Dutch native speakers are in high demand for business support positions in Poland right now. I have a bachelor degree, am a native Dutch speaker and can speak English on a C1 level.

Does anyone know if this is a decent salary? I have a probationary period and I have already stated I might wish to negotiate my salary after the probationary period.
