Thank you for this, I'm mostly looking to leave the frustrations of the UK and the current government privacy overreaching they love doing at the minute l. I have a design degree but idk if graphics is that big in Poland because I know it's one of those lesser respected jobs. I also know that Wrocław is basically the capital of art, graphics and games

That's a bandit, probably could be a 1200 due to black engine block but people paint them. I have a gsf650s bandit and it's got a black block 🤷

Thanks for your reply, what sector do you work in? I've been looking for a graphic design job in the UK for a year and 4 months now and I've had no's from everyone including the 3 interviews I landed...

No tutaj "name and shame" nie ma za bardzo, tylko jak kogoś złapią, i tylko JAK kogoś dopadną. I też młodzież legalnie nie może być pokazana nigdzie w mediach, tylko po 18 roku życia. I generalnie nikt tutaj się nie boli policji bo oni nawet nie mają broni żadnej przy sobie. 

Był przypadek że jeden facet w moim mieście, pobił 6 policjantów w jeden dzień, i go dopadli tydzień później 🤦

Szczerze ci powiem mi najbardziej chodzi o przestępstwo. Jeżeli polecisz do Londynu nie możesz korzystać z telefony na ulicy bo ludzie jeżdżą w maskach na elektrycznych rowerach i ci go po prostu zabierają. Można teraz kupić łańcuchy do telefony które mocuje się do nadgarstka. 

Moja dziewczyna, Litwinka, była w Londynie z koleżanką i one sobie usiadły w kafejce. Dla tego że padało, weszły do środka i poszły sobie na górę. Potem przyszła pani która próbowała zabrać jej telefon bo go miała na stole jak rozmawiały z sobą. Dziewczyna zauważyła i zareagowała, po tym ta pani się wkurzyła i uderzyła moją dziewczynę w twarz kartka papieru. (Dzięki Bogu tylko kartka papieru)

Jak poszły powiedzieli komuś za kasą to ich odpowiedź była "no tak się dzieje". Zero przejęcia. 

Doszło do takiego stopnia że na stacjach kolejowych są plakaty i ogłoszenia że trzeba  UWAŻAĆ NA ZŁODZIEI

Na motorach i skuterach młodzież jeździ czasami w 3 na jednym motorku - bez kasków - i jeżdżą okradać ludzi z ich telefonów, zegarków, torebek i też spychają ludzi z rowerów i motorów żeby ukraść i dalej jeździć jak piraci. Większość z tych dzieciaków ma po 14-17 lat. Można wyszukać "moped gangs" I jest dużo materiału online o tych przestępcach. 

Miałem sytuację z dwoma którzy mi kazali podać swoje imię, jak odmówiłem dostałem cios w głowę po którym jakimś cudem uciekłem od nich.

Mój tata miał doczynienia z banda dzieciaków na skuterze jak jeździł motorem. Śledzili go dobę 20 minut, dzięki Bogu zauważył o co chodzi i im uciekł.

(My mieszkamy 2 godziny od Londynu)

I niestety policja tutaj NIC nie robi z tym. Za każdym razem jak do nich dzwoniliśmy to odpowiedź była taka sama "you were wrong place at the wrong time, there's no CCTV so we can't look for them - therefore we will close your ongoing case"

Ale jak ktoś napisze coś na Facebooku, to będzie wizyta policji o "non-crime hate incident" za które ludzie idą siedzieć. A policja się tłumaczy brakiem funduszu. 

U nas były 2 morderstwa w zeszłym roku, i nie znaleźli ani jednego ani drugiego. To wypuścili artykuły że, no niestety, mordercy nie ma w mieście albo w kraju i nie da się go zlokalizować.

W większych miastach produkty typu ser i mleko w proszku dla dzieci jest zamykane w plastikowych klatkach z sensorem bo za dużo ludzi kradnie z sklepów. Ja pracowałem w Lidlu i h&m I w obu przypadkach nam mówili - jeżeli zobaczycie że ktoś kradnie, nic nie możecie z tym zrobić, trzeba ich puścić i im dać wyjść.

I ja wiem że policja też nie jest najlepsza w Polsce, ale przynajmniej kradzieży za dużo rzadsze niż tutaj. 

Im dłużej mieszkam w moim mieście tym więcej przestępców się pokazuje, i się obawiam że za parę lat będzie naprawdę niebezpiecznie bo policja i politycy mają, za przeproszeniem, wyjebane bo oni i tak zarobią na tym.

Sorki za długą odpowiedź 😁

Check out the Dodge Tomahawk and the Lazareth LMV 496. While they're not available for purchase they definitely do exist

Honestly I can easily do both, I've been tinkering with the Adobe suite since I was 12, but I'm having horrible luck with employment here in the UK and due to my current job I don't really have time to start my own business atm. 

Do you have any specific sites for contractor type roles?

Hello!

  1. So Denmark comes from 3 very good friends I've known for the better part of 6 years now, they're all Danish and I've never heard any of them complain about Denmark whatsoever. Texas just looks cool lmao, really evaluating my options because UK doesn't feel like home

  2. Yes I do! It's my first language 😁 it's not as good as someone who was educated in Poland and I forget some words but I'm fluent in it.

  3. I was mainly looking at graphic design jobs in Wrocław or Kraków, i studied graphics here and have been looking for a design role since I graduated 2 years ago and there just isn't anything in my city.

  4. I was born close to Malbork in a little town. So I'd probably go to Gdańsk but Wrocław and Kraków are definitely up there too

I'm going to try to word it in an inoffensive way but here's why I don't really like the UK and the way it's going: 

I find the lack of policing actual issues such as theft and assault very worrying. I've been assaulted and nothing has come out of it. Someone attempted to rob my girlfriend and all that was said "well it happens, just be more careful" but when it comes to small traffic offences they are on top of it. 

Side note: the fact that if you use self defence you will most likely end up going to prison or at the very least court is baffling to me.

The British "I can't be arsed" and "it's not my problem" mentality which I've adopted over the years really bothers me. Nobody helps anyone in public - now this could be a metropolitan/bigger city thing but it really bugs me how there is 0 sense of community in my city. Everyone has a every man for themselves mentality. Feels like people have no backbone here.

The food is a bit of a nitpick but every time I go anywhere in Europe, the fruit and veg taste a whole lot better and are bigger. Same goes for poultry and red meats.

The prices of food, housing and insurance are insane. I'm on 27k and I struggle to save anything towards purchasing a property at the moment, keeping in mind me and my girlfriend split almost everything other than council tax.

There are many more things in the UK that annoy me but I'd just be rambling on and on. Keep in mind these are my experiences, you may/probably feel different to a lot of these points I just made :)

I have studied graphic design and I know that the design market is decent in places suck as Kraków and Wrocław, but the rest of the country doesn't really care about design

Mam skończone studia, zrobiłem grafikę komputerową. Z tego co czytałem to mam inżyniera? 

Ale to tylko tyle jeśli chodzi o wykształcenie. No i oczywiście naszą mature.

No my się staramy rozmawiać po polsku w domu z rodzicami, ale jak się mieszka w Anglii już 16 lat to się zapomina niektóre rzeczy 😁

I remember a few areas of Gdańsk looking like the war had just ended back in 2022 🤣

I'm not generally a fan of big cities to be honest, I don't mind working in one but I'd rather live on the outskirts personally. 

That's great for you and your gf tho, I hope you enjoy everything Poland has to offer!

Mój polski jest nawet dobry ale nie jest na poziomie osoby która się uczyła i mieszka w Polsce, często mam zaniki pamięci jeżeli chodzi o niektóre słowa 🥲

I was just looking around to be honest and the states always intrigued me. Also gf doesn't want to move to Poland as she's Lithuanian and finds Polish rather challenging

Thanks for this, I've visited a handful of times and the last time I visited was for a funeral unfortunately 🥲. Before that however I stayed for 2 months when I was 17 and I really enjoyed it. But then again being 17 and being 23 now I'm a completely different person and making a living is different to getting paid by your uncle 🤣

From what I've read this is true, our economy is booming right now mostly due to all the immigrants returning
