Work / English speaking-Accountant and job in Poland [13]

In my opinition, you focus on jobs which requires Turkish language, there are several (maybe not too many) available - you can find in Pracuj.pl you can also check careerjet.pl - this one is putting together the ads from different websites.

Without advanced English knowledge, it will be bery hard to find any jobs in accountancy, to work for English speaking countries. I would go for jobs which are available for Turkish speakers.

Like they mentioned in previous posts, if you do not have valid residence card which allows you to work without any additional work permit, that will probably be harder to find something.

Work / Relocate to Lodz Poland [30]

Jon, I think he mentioned that the amount is net, it should not be that bad if that is net amount :) of course the position and experience might change the view on it.

In practice, from what I have seen, Polish employers mostly give the gross amount, they try to avoid giving any net amount.

About adaptation, might be hard, especially when I see you said that you are Muslim - if you are connected with Islam values, Poland might not be the best choice.

Life / Car insurance in Poland: where's the best place to get it? [19]

Guys, need opinions about this.

I have used 3 companies for ac+oc until now all had terrible customer service. They call you hundred times while trying to sell it, after payment you are alone.

I am not sure if it is allowed to give namea of the companies so I will try to truncate :) I used ax. Av... Pz. Until now for my and wife's cars and no happiness.

I ve got one 6 year old and one 9 year old cars which I LL need to insure again next month but could not decide which company. I also googled the companies and most of them have very bad comments in general.

Even found out that some of them never informed national insurance system about the policies we had therefore, it looks like we have less discounts than what we expected. Calling them one by one now to force them to put details into UFG system.

I need to get some info to see if someone is pleased with their insurer

Disagreeing with first point - did it several times and had no issues.

Agreeing with the other points and not sure if something I said in previous post saying otherwise?

Law / Ways of getting Permanent residency in Poland [101]

When you take karta pobytu, if the decision was given based on your studies, they are counted as half in that 5 years. Example, if you took karta pobytu for 3 years as being a student, 1 year and half will be counted, if you took it for 2 years based on the decision of work, it is counted as it is- 2 years. I presume all decisions you got were for studies therefore, you should divide them by two.

Like Harry mentioned some companies may agree to do the ac even if the car is more than 10 years old. As well, let's say that the car is 9 years old and you have a this year, next year they will offer you ac again even if the car passes 10 years.

Looks like this year the prices are significantly higher, I keep searching still as I hate the current company. Will also visit maybe some agencies

Work / Cost of living in Gdańsk, average salary for experienced software engineer in Poland [64]

I cannot comment for the specific position as i do not know salaries acroos Europe for sap consultants but I believe 14k is good money for Polish standards. The only problem will be after 86k limit, the income tax will be 30 percent and nearly half of the salary will be cut.

First 6 months of the year it might be something around 9500-10.000 netto, for the second part of the year around 7-8.000 whic is still good for Poland, especially if you are alone.

Second thing is, in general what i see with corporations here, yearly raise is so low therefore, it is better to negotiate for the highest you can get

The experience, in my opinion, of course will hellp to find something better if you perform good however, residence permit you will have in Poland will not let you work in any other country so that you will still need to get work permit foe any other country which you will want to work.

Work / How can I found job for Hebrew speakers in Poland? [46]

There are maybe not too many but still some jpbs available for Hebrew speakers however, what I see is that the companies prefer to hire Poles who can speak Hebrew up to some degree as generally native Hebrew speakers demand high wages. There are shared service centers or outsourcing companies who are handling finance/hr services/ customer support and most of the positions are in these areas - this is my observation

The best would be to contact Israelis who live wnd work here, they might be able to help.

Not having valid residence/work permit can lower your chances

Merged:

Consumer Rights

Hi everyone,

I ve got a problem with a travel agent about a refund that they reject. I wanna get in touch with some organization or lawyer to get advice to see if there is any sense to proceed further with a legal case. I tried to call Stowarzyszenie Konsumentów Polskich i Fundację Konsumentów hotline but seems like noone speaks English. Any suggestions?
