I am from India.I completed my Btech IT in India. If i complete my masters in Poland with risk of spending more money, i have doubt about job opportunities in IT at Poland.Can anyone mention about the scopes of job and parttime job while studying ?

You have a much better chance of getting a job in Poland if you work for two or three years in India and get some professional experience in the industry. A masters makes no difference at all to your employment prospects but experience DOES. It's a complete waste of time and money coming to Poland to get a Masters. Get experience, that's what counts.

Remember that all Polish speaking people in Poland have Masters degrees, some have an MBA. An employer is more likely to employ someone for whom he does not need to get a working permit and have all the hassle that goes with it.

They don't Terri. They really don't, even in IT. There are plenty who have just a Bachelors. Also the old Magister degree is really only equivalent to an Hons BA. The system has come in line with the rest of Europe now, where you do a BA and then carry on to do a Masters if you want to. It's perfectly possible for a Polish person to find a job with only a BA.

As for work permits, judging by the number of affluent looking people I see in Warsaw who are clearly from the Indian subcontinent, I would say that if a Polish employer can't find somebody with the necessary experience, they will certainly hire somebody who requires a work permit.

It's one of the reasons why IT is such a multi-cultural profession pretty much all over the developed world. Any major company you go into in a European capital will have Russians, Chinese, Indians etc working there. But they're not new graduates, they usually have several years experience and a specific skill set that that the company needs.

Agree with that. In Krakow there is a handful of people from India, to whom I have spoken and they have few years experience behind them and they usually work for International firms.

As to the Old Mgr being a BA Hons - yes, that is true. However, more and more jobs advertised on Polish websites are now requiring higher degrees or accountancy qualifications.

no they don't, how silly.

OP you know if you do a Masters in the UK, you become 'highly skilled' and it is much easier to get a visa to stay on.

Plus, it would be more highly regarded.
