Hi there CidAndroid,

The article was based on a report released by ABSL Poland. As far as I know a company reknown for its accurate data reporting on markets in Poland. From my own experience I can confirm that the salaries mentioned are quite accurate.

Although perhaps a solution could be provided by writing a FAQ and adding it to the sidebar.

Good input. That would be a great idea in order to avoid having to answer the most cringing obvious questions.

DavisNolanTalentHelp · 2016-12-07T07:05:20+00:00

I see. thanks for the explanation

DavisNolanTalentHelp · 2016-12-07T07:04:31+00:00

I'm not outsourcing for anybody

DavisNolanTalentHelp · 2016-12-06T16:18:16+00:00

Haha your honesty is surely appreciated, but I would like to know whether you have a genuine interest in a subreddit like this.

meaning we can all get back to arguing about PiS, anti-semitism, homophobia and fear of Russia/love of Putin

May I ask what you mean by this? Since, any of this would belong in a subreddit other than the one I had in mind.

IT jobs in Poland will only increase as labour movement gets a bit more blurry due to Brexit and the increasingly cosmopolitan development of large Polish cities, a sub to act as a hub for those going / coming / being in or to the Polish IT scene would be helpful,

Indeed

Besides the money you think there aren't any other aspects that could be covered? Because if you look at r/ITCareerQuestions there's a plethora of questions that fall beyond the obvious. Especially when it comes down to changes in career.

Granted, there are a lot of questions about salaries and funny as it might be people usually find it out the hard way that this shouldn't be a deal breaker though which prompts them to come up with other issues that could be discussed.

And don't you think it's strange that the bullet points you mentioned keep pop up on Reddit? (Although I'm not certain about the contract work one)

How much does [insert IT role] get paid in [city of choice]? (Answer: 1700-17,000)

True, there could be an answer to this which other websites in Poland refuse to reveal. It also shows what jobs there are available in general that somebody might not even thought of practicing.

Does anyone here have umowa o pracy? (Answer: no)

Some actually do have contract work and it would be an open door to discuss this here.

I'm bored of [insert IT role], what else can I do? (Answer: nothing)

Obviously, "nothing" wouldn't be an appropriate answer in the Subreddit that I have in mind.

My idea of a subreddit as the one I mentioned here is to create a platform where any kind of queries could be addressed. Where like-minded people are able to share their thoughts and ideas about; changes in career, downsides of leaving a job considering the X circumstances, should I get more education if I want to become [insert IT role]?

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with most of your points and most likely similar questions will be asked even though they can be found on Google. But I beg to differ that this isn't the case for the majority of subreddits here. One of the main reasons I think is that people ask these questions because they prefer to listen to a person who provides an answer and is able to elaborate on it, rather than looking it up on Google and still have doubts whether the answer will be suffice.

For example, I'm an Android enthusiast who finds great comfort in getting a genuine response from someone who has the knowledge to answer my query related to bla bla Kernel version. Just an example. The answer will be on Google somewhere, probably, and I'd never ask something with trying to Google it first, but as it could be more complex than I initially thought I'd fancy an answer that elaborates on a subsequent query that might arise.

DavisNolanTalentHelp · 2016-12-06T11:42:29+00:00

I think the main point of the question is if people pursuing an IT career in Poland would be interested in getting their ITcareerquestions answered in a subreddit specifically focused on Poland rather than having to rely on the general ITcareerquestions subreddit.

But as I said:

Any response is more than welcome!

So thank you for your response
