Dear all,

any one has an idea how much a freshly graduated architect with an MA should get as an average monthly salary all inclusive?
and with 2 > 4 years experience?

...and also how much interns should be paid?

Here we are not talking that they are recruited by HighProfile firm, but small studio.

Let me know.

Tx.

at start as an assistant 2.5 - 4.000 zl.
You need a few months to find a private work for evenings and you will have another 2000 but not private life.

OK. If someone has 3 years experience in detailed design stage drawings and a bit of construction drawings, how much he/she will earn?

Depends how good his/her negotiating skills are.

Really, there's no way of saying.

One thing is certain : there's a lot of competition for jobs.

Choose Krakow. Its architecture definitely needs improvement:

The overheads are less expensive in Krakow, but the developers are in Warsaw.

Hello, I'm architect living in Poland. I wonder if there's any chance to get work here. I've been looking for a job almost 2 years already and nothing. Any hints ??

Because of construction boom in last decade there was big demand for Civil Engineers and Architects, because of that Architecture became one of top study faculties (by number of applicants). So now there are much more graduates than 10 years ago, but (at least temporarily) construction market is stagnating/ shrinking so same with job positions. But they say that for people with certificates there is still a lot of jobs - contrary to fresh graduates.

Have you looked at architekci.pl as this is the best website for architectural jobs that I know of. It's hard for Polish people never mind foreigners to find work and the pay is not great at first, I've been told Warsaw is the best best for English speakers but still not easy. Even in the UK 20% of all architects are unemployed according to the latest survey (bdonline). Try and network, learn Polish as well as you can and I assume being in Poznan you have been at Arena Design for the last few days trying to meet people??
