He is in technical sales and makes about the equivalent of 75,000 euro a year.
Wow .you mean 75 000 zl per year and not Euros because otherwise if your friend makes this kind of money in technical sales , it means his target sales must be of at least 4 Millions of Euros a year!
Salaries are increasing in Poland. There was a 17zł rise in my monthly social security payment (ZUS). My financial handler told me that it was due to a rise in salaries. Who am I to disagree with him? U can expect a slightly higher salary
I don't know if you realize how rough it is there. The average Polish worker like a nurse, school teacher, barber, waiter, etc. make from 800 to 1200 zl [ b]PER MONTH. [/b]Your talking about a 6000zl salary being unsatisfactory is absurd to me. My cousin who is a school teacher went to university for 5 years earns 1000 zl a month, and she's considered well off by some of her friends who make much less.
Hi I am Dave from India, planning to move to Poland in June. Working as software engineer and got an offer in Poland. Please let some of you know me about
* Availability of vegitarian food * Indian food items to cook atleast * Indian community * Average cost of living * Can we manage without local language knowledge? I am good in english * Are the public system (behavour, respect for other country people)
Food: Veggie food and Indian ingredients can be found in Warsaw, may be harder to find in other places. Warning: a vegetarian diet is more expensive in Poland than the alternatives.
Indian people in Poland: Few and far between.
Cost of living: Too many variables to answer. Are you alone? Will your company help with housing?
Language: to start learning Polish. Otherwise you'll be a pain in the neck to friends and co-workers (and get left out of things at the office unless they're all foreigners). Also, you won't be able to get much done unless you drag a translator around with you. Polish bureaucracy is monolingual and expects long term residents (over a year) to learn Polish, period. The good news is that the difficulties in learning survival Polish (as opposed to fluent literary Polish) are greatly exaggerated, especially while you're in Poland and the benefits will far outweigh the effort.
Thanks mafketis for your suggestion. I am bachelor and will be staying alone in Lodz, company will not provide accomodation. How are the IT opportunities in Poland? How is Lodz city? is it cosmopoliton or more of local people?
I've never been to £ódź (pronounced Wootch) but AFAIK it's more Polish and not as cosmopolitan as Warsaw (or Kraków or Wrocław or Poznań).
Traditionally it has been where foreign students sent to study in Poland by their governments first learned Polish (in 8 months after which they had to be able to understand university lectures and textbooks). I don't know how many students like that are around now.
I have no idea on earth about apartment prices there either.
It's had rough times in the last 30 years or so but I think things are starting to pick up.
If you haven't seen them already, here are some english pages about Lodz.
HAHAHAHAHAHA again I never cease to be amazed how dirt poor polish people are! HAHAHAHA 1000 ZL a month with a college degree? Shoot u can make more than that working at a McDonalds in cali! =D HAHAHAHAHA 6000 zl a month considered good dude... my dad probably makes that an hour! =)
