Work / Job prospects in Poland for Polish-American [14]

I did do some forum searching and looking around, and have a general idea of what the job market is like. Again seems more suited to IT than "traditional" engineering, but thats to be expected. It isn't so much an issue with the American dream, as it is an issue with the culture and people here. The UK is something to look into, though again the culture of Poland is my main driving force.

At some point I have no doubts I will live in Poland for some period of time, that experience will probably shape the future more than anything else. I know a lot of Germany companies (mostly automakers) hire directly from my university but again not sure how I feel about Germany outside of Dortmund.

Work / Job prospects in Poland for Polish-American [14]

Hello everyone,

I am currently a university student in America studying electro-mechanical engineering. My intentions are to move to Poland after I finish university here. Both of my parents are from Poland and are also planning on returning to Poland. I am a native English speaker, and also speak (read and write too) fluent Polish. I have dual citizenship in America and Poland. Obviously my plans to move to Poland are not due to finances as I am taking a steep downgrade in terms of potential salary. However I am contemplating the move due to loving the country much more than America and missing it after staying for months at a time. I know I will have no issue with the culture and living there as I have been raised Polish and am no stranger to the differences. My question rather would be if someone with my area of study would be able to find work in Poland to sustain myself. What kind of salary could I expect?

Would there be any potential alternatives for someone of my qualifications? (I looked into English certifications, but I know this is not what it used to be and work would be hard to come by).

Anything else I should know?

Thank you in advance :)
