Work / Poland Salary Expectations - Native English Speaker CSR [14]

Thanks for replying.

The job's in Wroclaw, and I'm supposed to have a phone interview first, haven't been invited there yet (I just applied yesterday).

Damn, I didn't realize that 3000 net = 5000 brutto. That does make it sound different.. I haven;t worked for a company yet here, just private lessons and language schools. The advantages would be health insurance and all the rest of it, but I have to be able to make ends meet, too, and apartments are friggin' expensive compared to what people earn! :-/

Work / Poland Salary Expectations - Native English Speaker CSR [14]

Hi,

Sorry to be somewhat redundant, but the answers I skimmed through in other 'salary expectations' threads didn't quite give me what I was looking for, so I'll risk a new thread..

I absolutely abhor the 'how much would you like to earn' question, and I'll probably be having an interview soon so I would just like to canvas for opinions. The position is as a Customer Service Rep for a telecommunications company, and the position specifically requires a 'native english speaker'. I'm Polish-American (lived in the U.S. most of my life) so I speak both languages fluently, plus intermediate Spanish and French ('other languages will be an asset'). I have a Masters degree. Seeing as they specifically requested a native speaker, would I be justified in asking for a bit more than the 'average' Polish salary for this sort of position? I'm thinking at least between 2500 - 3000 PLN (netto) but I don't want to scare them off... At the same time I can make that much w/private language lessons so I wouldn't really want to settle for less..

Anyway if anyone has any insight please share,
Thanks,

Eva
