What salary can I expect in Warsaw?

Hi folks,

I am going to write applications soon. I would like to live and work there for a while.

Altough I did a investigation on my own before, I am not sure what salary can I expect in Poland (Warsaw). Most likely I will relocate to Warsaw, because there are the most job oppurtunities.

Here are some facts about me:

- 30 y.o.
- Degree in Accounting and Controlling
- Degree in Languages (Russian and English)
- Native speaker of German, fluency in English and Russian both written and verbal
- active blogger since one year
- manage a social media website for about 18 months
- basic programming skills (HTML5 & CSS3).I have built some websites that I can show HR-Managers
- certified by google (Ad Words & Analytics)
- skills in Adobe Photopshop and MS office (Acces, Excel, Word, Office, Power Point)

I am looking for job oppurtunities in the Digital Marketing/E-Commerce field. I will only apply for positions where German is either an advantage or mandatory.

Of course I did a investigation regarding to the living costs, too. I have to earn at least 8000 Zloty gross per month to pay all my bills and save some money.

What salary could I ask for, when I apply in Warsaw?

My idea would be 9000 Zlotz. What do you think?

Many thanks in advance for your answers.

Do you speak Polish ? If so then you will have a lot more options.

You have some quite good skills but without Polish you are much less useful and the 9000 zloty might be a stretch - almost all
Warsaw inhabitants under 35 speak some kind of English now. I don't know how marketable the social media / blog stuff is.

Your angle might be to focus on the e-commerce / customer relationship management stuff - the job market will be tight next year and employers will be looking for people who can put some money in the till.

Especially in the time of pandemic.

9000 PLN is possible in Warsaw, but it may not be that easy to find such a job. Due to AI and automation, it's probably better to focus on your accounting / controlling areas rather than programming / blogging / social media. Your knowledge of Russian / English language should be a decisive factor to meet your professional goals (if I were you I'd definitely polish these skills, especially spoken Russian and English).
