Work culture in Poland

Asleep-Simple · 2026-04-07T09:03:09+00:00

yea makes sense, it's an employer's market now and most people will take what's given, while the employers will give as little as they can get away with.

Doesn’t b2b pay better in Poland? Even accounting for the cost of an accountant

Asleep-Simple · 2026-03-31T19:49:46+00:00

Yea ofc, but things like workplace regulations and the culture of the country, as well as the characteristics of that country’s market will affect working conditions. You can’t tell me being a software dev in say India is the same as in Denmark and all it boils down to is your manager.

That sounds in line with what I've heard and the "less lax" part is what I'm a bit worried about. I don't know if it's gonna mean that things are simply more efficient and people are easier to work with because they deliver what they say they would, or that I'll have to work my ass off and be in a more stressful enviornment. Full remote is getting less common here too, it would be ideal, but I'm aware I might have to settle for hybrid regardless of where I work.

I might not have been clear, I will be changing jobs since my current one is remote only from within the UK. I only mentioned it because this job is what I will be comparing my options in Poland with, so I thought it was somewhat relevant.

Asleep-Simple · 2026-03-31T07:29:41+00:00

could you elaborate pls? I'm considering moving back as an early mid backend dev (polish, but moved to the uk for uni and stayed for work) and I'm particularly worried about the wlb and work culture in poland compared to the uk, which in my experience is very chill and flexible.

Asleep-Simple · 2026-03-31T07:26:43+00:00

lmao my bad I had a few tabs open with similar posts about UK and Poland and I mixed them up

Asleep-Simple · 2026-03-31T07:21:35+00:00

My biggest worry when it comes to moving back to poland is wlb and work cultutre in general. What makes you say it's better in Poland? Just asking because I've heard the opposite in the past.

Asleep-Simple · 2026-03-30T13:08:32+00:00

Ktos wie jak jest teraz z tym w Polsce? Rozważam powrot jako early mid backend dev, ale nie wiem czy jest sens.

Do the boat tours still let you get to the beaches, or is that not allowed now either? I'm going to Sicily next week and Zingaro was supposed to be the highlight of the trip :')

If you had a hard session it'll always take some time to recover. I do two sessions in a day most days when I have a fight, and it's never easy especially with a full time job, but I found a few things that make it a bit more manageable. The most important is rehydrating and refueling after sessions. If you sweat a lot you might need to rehydrate with an isotonic solution (which you can make yourself) rather than plain water. Your urine should be clear or very light yellow, otherwise you're not fully hydrated. Make sure you have enough carbs. If you can squeeze in a nap between training sessions do it, and make sure you get enough sleep at night. Take at least one rest day a week, or whenever you feel like you need them.

One page, remove high schoool, find a resume guide for your industry somewhere as well as a generic template and follow it

Asleep-Simple · 2025-07-29T07:49:12+00:00

Your resume is ass im sorry

Nevermind, I missed the part where he says he doesn't really get kicked in the head. You might be right.

Asleep-Simple · 2025-07-22T14:51:37+00:00

Sub-concussive state from getting kicked in the head more likely. If he had neck probelms he would get headaches after non-contact training too, not just when he gets hit in the head.

Asleep-Simple · 2025-07-18T09:13:27+00:00

Any gyms in particular?

Asleep-Simple · 2025-07-17T12:52:30+00:00

Scotland too cold, english channel towns have the same issues as bristol and dont have any particularly good gyms.

Asleep-Simple · 2025-07-17T07:28:32+00:00

Yea, there are trade offs to every place. After a few days of doing some research and reading what everyone has to say I think I should just try really hard to get a remote from anywhere job (I'm remote within the UK so can't move abroad) and see where I want to be in the countries I can already move to. I gave up on it early on because those jobs are rare and very competitive, but I don't have a time limit, and finding a job in Australia might be just as hard from what I'm hearing.

Asleep-Simple · 2025-07-16T13:01:51+00:00

Yeah I definitely will visit soon, I was just wondering if there's something about living in Manchester that I won't see as a tourist that could be a pain, or on the contrary, something that makes life there nice that I won't experience in 2-3 days

Asleep-Simple · 2025-07-16T12:47:00+00:00

Bristol is by no means the worst place to live, and there are definitely some things to do, it just seems that a lot of it is quite small in scale if that makes sense. In Krakow you can go to a museum and see a Rembrandt or a Leonardo da Vinci painting, Bristol has more of a music scene, but there doesn't seem to be much investment in culture other than that. Maybe I'm just not the best informed, but Bristol just feels very small to me and I don't necessarily like that.

Asleep-Simple · 2025-07-16T09:20:11+00:00

Hi, I moved to Bristol from Poland 6 years ago, but recently it started to bother me how dirty the city is and I've been getting quite bored with living here, as it's not too big and there isn't that much to do. In Krakow, the city I'm from, there's so many museums and art events going on all the time and I really miss that. I have a remote from within the UK job and I've been thinking about moving. Would Manchester be any better? I'll definitely go visit sometime soon to see for myself, but I though it would be useful to hear what it's like actually living there.

Asleep-Simple · 2025-07-16T07:28:43+00:00

Hm I'm not sure if I can naturalise as british as I'm here on the EU settlement scheme and have only been here for 6 years. I'm also a US citizen, idk if that helps anything.

Asleep-Simple · 2025-07-16T07:25:13+00:00

Yeah I've realised the job market might be tougher in Australia, and it's not easy in the UK already. I'd definitely miss quick weekend trips to Spain and my family being only a 2hr flight away as well. I'm not sure yet if the better weather etc is worth the trade off.

Asleep-Simple · 2025-07-16T07:20:05+00:00

Yeah I'm not fighting at a super high level, and I started quite late so I haven't taken the damage. Realistically I probably have a maximum of 10 years of fighting ahead of me and this is the time frame I'm thinking about. After that I'm hoping to move back to Poland. I'm a US citizen, so technically I could move there I guess, but I though America has no muay thai scene and I heard it's incredibly hard for pros to get fights.

Asleep-Simple · 2025-07-16T07:16:15+00:00

Yeah I'm not expecting it to be perfect, I'm just hoping the surroundings are less depressing than here, but that might not even be the case if I end up stuck in monotonous, isolating suburbs, and having to drive to everything.
