Work / Job offer from IT Giant in Katowice, Poland (UNIX specialist). Information on tax and rental costs needed. [65]


I tried making friends here, but due to language barrier i think is difficult to make friends here - I am learning Polish myself to remove that barrier, though.

But i guess i can try going to Warsaw as well, as there are more english speakers - including Poles, than in Lodz

Well, I think the same about in English, but Hindi is a lot difficult language then you may think, but since this is off the topic , so i will not puruse it.

Ghilli - I think 14000 PLN is enough for you and your wife to move to Poland. Also, once you are here, you can easily look for job in other European countries, I would suggest you to learn at least one language - German or French .

Also, dont make a plan of settling here for a longer period, just plan for staying here for one year or so and then decide.

Regarding your wife, as Dominic mentioned, she will definitely get bored if she does not join any course\activities. I can say this with my own experience here, because I get bored and depressed even when I work for five days a week.

Hi Harry,

Thanks for your response.
So, that way I would probably have a lot of sim cards from different country- is not there one sim card from whole Europe or some thing like that

Life / Is 10500 monthly is enough for a family to live in Warsaw Poland [136]

Gourav ,

As per your experience, which is of nine years,I feel you must ask salary anything above 15k

I do not know exact how much you should ask, but more than that I can say.
Renting a nice apartment in a good locality and new building would cost you something around 2000 zl. For gym, swimming outside the apartment, you wont be spending anything more than 400 - 500 zl (for both you and your wife).

Groceries can be around 1000 - 1500 zl for a month , may be less , but not more than that.

Hello gkandari

Since you have an almost 10 years of experience, you must really expect high
If you get a bus\tram pass, travelling is very cheap within the city.

Unless, some company offers your wife a job and pays for her work permit stamping, I am not sure if she can work.

I hope you get my point,

Is it possible that they can tell if there are any indian grocery shop in Lodz


I think it is better for the living place to be calm.


Are these buses and trams always very crowded or for certain hours in morning and evening, is there any other mode of transport?
Do we have metro trains?

Also I would like to know if there are good hotels too, nearby?

Real Estate / Recommend good residential areas in which to rent an apartment in Lodz? [24]


No, but my office is near Przedszkole Miejskie nr 30
I am not supposed to tell my work place name

As checked the place where I will be working is Oddział, Aleksandrowska, so is there any good location near this, or is it in the city center.

If there are direct buses to my office, I think it would be better that I can stay in a good locality.

DominicB
Thank you Dominic for the response. I totally agree to that, I am still negotiating with my manager, hoping to get a better pay, as I have some 20-30 days left before I leave for Poland.

Hoping that I would get the same.
Also, since this is my first outside country assignment. I am currently fine with it.
I am sure while working in Poland, i would learn more depths of SAP, which would help me grow.

One more question, I would ask here is that is there any website where I can give advertisement that i want an apartment , so that i may fix an appointment when I visit the country?

My company is providing me a week stay in Poland to find apartment

Love / Indian girl met a Polish guy and got pregnant. He doesn't want to marry me and my visa expires... [14]

I think unless you dont apply/extend your visa, it is not possible for you to stay.
Also, you have ten months to clean up the mess, try finding some way
