I just have one semester left before I finish my msc at the politechnika warszawska in electrical engineering. Currently I have a part time job as a bilingual English/Spanish sales engineer, writing technical requirements based on the user needs, explain the needs of clients, and making quite good money. However, I would like to switch my career to software development. It seems that all design engineering jobs are reserved to native Poles, but I prefer to do something more technical and I learned that most IT jobs in Poland don't require you to speak Polish. I know some stuff about coding from my undergrad coursework and I actually enjoy coding too. Once I graduate, I really would like to stay in Poland and just work here in the field of IT.
I took some IT courses in my university including Python, PHP and artificial intelligence. Currently in the summer, I also take intensive Polish course at B1 level and I teach myself SQL. I am just wondering if any of you would have any advice on things that I can learn during my free time beside improving my spoken Polish. I am thinking of learning Linux Shell once I become competent with SQL because I already know some programming languages such as C, C++, Java so I figure if I learn something that is completely different but valuable among Polish employers.
