Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]

international companies are not so stupid to give a Greek employee with a master about 500 euro per month in Poland. no Greek would ever want to go to Poland with such a low offer. dont underestimate companie's salaries policies. they are not so stupid as you might think. even more when a Greek can earn more than 1000 euros per month as a waiter in the Greek islands.

z_darius,

thanks for your reply.

i was actually made aware that i am what they are actually looking for, and that they would contact me later on to arrange the contract details; so they did not tell me anything about renumeration. all it was said is that the company offers very competitive salaries. and this is what i m actually looking for: to find out what competitive salary means in Poland given the fact that the salaries there are rather low compared to other EU countries.

cheers.

Poles make an average 900 €

are you sure Polson? :-)

in some other threads i read some really disappointing numbers :-(

thanks for your welcome in the other thread :-)

Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]

Hello folks,

I m Greek and I had a job offer from a big international company based in Krakow.

At first I was very excited since i have only heart good things about Poland in general and for Krakow in particular. However, I had no clue that the salaries are so low in Poland and when they asked me what my salary expectations are, i just answered that i trust what an inernational company has to offer to a person who is a BSc graduate and also an MSc graduate. It was clear from the beginning that I will not be considered an expat - meaning that i will not get paid with Greek standards but as a Polish employee.

As i m quite a bit worried of what should i expect, can you please tell me how much Poles usually get paid when working for international companies? Do you think i got any chance of getting no less than 1,000 euros taking always into account my qualifications and the fact that the company is really big?

Thanks!!
