UK, Ireland / Irish, married to a Polish woman, considering moving to Poland - Rzeszow [11]

Thanks to everyone for their constructive replies to date. I really feel like this is the time for me to move, I thought as much teaching English as a language would probably be my first port of call alright but was considering that as an option anyways. I would love to say I'm a fluent Polish speaker and that would make life simpler but at the moment its pretty broken and needs a lot of work before i would feel confident enough to use it in day to day situations.

But judging by some of the replies here and by PM, there's definitely chances for people out there if they're willing to take the risk, and i'm awful tempted to take it :)

UK, Ireland / Irish, married to a Polish woman, considering moving to Poland - Rzeszow [11]

Hi,

First post on this forum but have read the threads with great interest here. I'm Irish and am married to a Polish woman and am pondering the idea of moving to Poland and raising a family there, but like everything I suppose a massive change like this shouldn't be done without some thought.

The reason I am here is to see if any Irish have taken the plunge recently in moving to Poland, I myself have in-laws in Rzeszów and am starting to wonder the various factors that needs to be taken into account when moving. Things like finding work, what sort of back up plan should I have while looking for work and generally how should I prepare if I choose to move.

I've read varying different opinions about life in Poland, but for me there's a different way of life that I found wonderful compared to Ireland in terms of family. But am a realist as well, and know that it would be hard work as well.

Anyways, am asking for some opinions on life in general and finding work (have weak polish at the moment), and just general experiences of others who have taken the plunge.
