Work / IT Infrastructure Engineer Expected Salary in Poland [10]

Hi everyone. First, I want to say thank you all for the responses. All of them are very insightful and contain great information.

The savings potential is definitely less than staying in America like Dominic said. This is one thing that is making my decision hard. The adventure, ability to travel across Europe and experience a whole different culture in my opinion may be worth more. My end goal is becoming a Director of I.T. at a large worldwide company but that's years down the road. Luckily one of the companies in Wroclaw that I'm interviewing with is a very well known worldwide company and very respected across the world. I think this would help with the transition back to the USA if I was so inclined.

I will be visiting Warsaw and Wroclaw in about a weeks time... I hear it's cold there this time of year ;) Looking forward to it.

Work / IT Infrastructure Engineer Expected Salary in Poland [10]

I'm hoping to get some advice on what to expect to make in Poland as a young professional that's been in the I.T. industry for 7-10 years. My skills are very broad in system administration. VMware, Storage, Exchange, Directory/AD... I have advanced knowledge of exchange and office 365. I've recently been looking at positions in Warsaw/Wroclaw that seem to all offer around 3000/USD/mo.

I've researched on this forum and others, along with reddit and want to get an opinion if living on ~13,000 PLN/MO or 3000/USD is worth moving from USA to a very well known international company in Wroclaw or Warsaw. I would consider myself somewhat senior in knowledge and expertise.

Ideally I'd like to come to Poland for the ability to experience a new culture, people and travel across Europe when possible. I'm hoping that this salary would enable me to do this, along with living comfortably and saving.

What portion of taxes would be taken out of this? About 20%? Thanks in advance and I'm looking forward to hearing what the good people of this forum say :)
