Hi, Thinking of moving to Poznan with my new wife. I was wondering if work is hard to come by for a non Polish speaking person. My profession is accountancy. Teaching English may be an option- but do you think I can make a decent living from that. Many Thanks! Well, ask yourself several questions - 1 Are you comfortable with a significant drop in living standards? If you're an accountant, I guess you'll be taking home at least 20k a year in the UK - you're just not going to see the same kind of money here.
Poland is rather unpredictable and frustrating at times - if you want stability, it's not a good place. It's also not a great place to bring up kids. As an adventure, it's great - but if you want to have a future, it's not so great. There's not much in the way of such work in Poznan unless you're relocated - I know the "big" names are cutting costs to the bone at the minute. Could you drag yourself out of a warm flat at 7am in December to go out into c temperatures - and likewise, not get home until pm in warm, summer evenings when you'd rather be in the pub having a drink?
Also, the unpredictable, varied hours. It's demanding physically and mentally - especially in winter! It's not impossible, but you need to consider yourself first - would you be happy throwing everything you've studied away just for the sake of living here? On the other hand - if you have money to come here and invest, then it could be a great place for you.
Xorox - 6 1 May 3. Having gone through various threads here, I heavily doubt the job market for a finance graduate in poland. Since its a paid studies and I would need to spend money from the savings to manage the living, I want to make a wise decision.
I don't want to spend money on something that will not pay me off. Please help me in light of your practical insight. Thank you! First - find jobs where the qualification is required. Second - find out how much the jobs pay. Third - decide if it is worth it. Fourth - decision is yours. It needs to be half a year, since I'm planning to do a second master degree at the Kozminski University in Corporate Finance.
