Merged: Job prospects for Fresh Law graduate from Polish university and Polish speaker
Hello.. I wanted to know what job opportunities available for fresh Law graduate from Polish University and native Polish speaker in cities like Szczecin and Poznan... is there job demand for Law graduate in Legal field ? is it easier to find job for Law graduate or its hard to begin career in legal sector.. Thank you.
Know for a fact that the UK wouldn't likely turn down a Polish resume, considering it were only TOP NOTCH! Apart from that, the US often will hire foreign counsel at major international firms, such as New York's Sherman & Sterling etc.
Used to be acquainted with a number of Polish attorneys who were former English students of mine and who did quite well with European degrees. Then again, in addition to a Polish university, guess it does help to have Oxford on the ol' cv too:-)
@Lyzko Thank you very much for your reply and suggestion regarding UK and USA law firms.. but i would like you to know career proposition within Poland for a Fresh Law graduate... is there a big demand? is it easier or hard to find job in Legal firm? how is job market and competition ? what salary one can expect say in cities like Szczecin - Poznan ? Thank you.
I'd set my sights on Warszawa and/or Kraków! In Gdańsk as well, I've heard from Polish friends that these cities offers competitive salaries in your area.
If all else fails though, don't abadon the US, the UK or (even!!) Germany:-) Do you speak any other languages besides Polish and English? German will be a tremendous asset.
Little tip: DON'T use English in Germany; it'll prove an expensive waste of timeLOL

Yes, but to get the good jobs you need to have done summer internships at big firms.
lawenquiry are you seriously law graduated from the Polish university??? You know that master degree doesn't entitle you to practice law? There are two legal professions: adwokat and radca prawny ( no idea how to stanslate them into English, probably attorney is the closest word) and to become one you have to sit bar exam, achieve satisfactory result and complite 3 years length vocational course, during this 3 years you have to go to kind of law school and sit some exams and also find "patron" in theory the experienced adwokat or radca prawny who will show you the practical aspects of your job in practice your employer, most of trainees work for their patrons for pennies, sometimes even for free, right now there are plenty of trainees on the market so don't expect be paid well in the legal office additionally you will have no chances to be promoted there. If you don't want to continue your education you should rather look for the job in some legal department of some companies, I've heard that banks pay pretty well or the insurence companies. good luck!
Let us know if you find something:-) Again, set your sights OUTSIDE of Europe. If however your wealthy, testosterone-pumping economic powerhouse to the West beckons, don't sneeze at the offer, just learn the language!
