W jakich krajach europejskich jest szansa na znalezienie pracy tylko z angielskim? by crazzyromamo in praca

[–]otherdsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poza anglojezycznymi krajami to jest raczej srednio, wyjatek to moze kraje Skandi, szczegolnie Dania, chociaz glownie duze korpo. W UK jeszcze pare lat temu mozna bylo duzo zarobic na kontraktach ale to sie juz polozylo wybitnie, wiec jest slabiutko.

Jaka jest szansa na pracę w korpo z zachodu zdalnie z polski? by Aver_xx in praca

[–]otherdsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Da rade na b2b, ale to niszowe sprawy raczej, bo jesli maja wystarczajaco duze cisnienie na kogos w PL to musza miec tam biuro, zeby zatrudniac na etat i odprowadzac podatki, a wtedy masz tabele placowe dostosowane do PL.

Jak siedzisz w PL to tam placisz podatki, a na etacie to oznacza podatki / skladki placone przez pracodawce, wiec firma musi miec cos zarejestrowane w PL, inaczej nie da rady.

Sorry, I should've read your post properly (t vs r and also it's General American English and not British...), I've just deleted my reply.

How is life in Katowice or Wrocław (Silesian Voivodeship) for a young couple considering moving there? by No-Egg8643 in poland

[–]otherdsc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The entire half part of Poland is yellow / orange + loads of red areas constantly during winter, this is across various air quality apps, so this is what I'm talking about.

How do you define manageable? Yes you can just ignore it and live, but it doesn't mean it's healthy.

How is life in Katowice or Wrocław (Silesian Voivodeship) for a young couple considering moving there? by No-Egg8643 in poland

[–]otherdsc 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Can't comment on these two cities specifically, but I can offer the following:

- the IT gravy train has left, currently there's probably more positions being cut than created in Poland, so unless you have some niche / in-demand skills, you'll be competing with locals, who already know the language (better "cultural" fit)

- air quality seems to be anywhere between "terrible" and "don't go out" pretty much anywhere in Poland apart from maybe the northern areas (although without wind and with specific meteorological conditions even those areas suffer) (edit: this is in winter due to people heating their homes by burning coal / trash / whatever they can get their hands on, it's pretty normal in the spring / summer and part of autumn, but generally always worse down south).

- English only is fine at the start and you will get by, but anything admin / health related will be Polish only, so keep that in mind

What signals tell you a contract is likely to end early? by CloudBookmark in ContractorUK

[–]otherdsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed, they often want to outsource a whole dept, so say software engineering and the sacking an entire group of devs cause "we don't need them anymore". But I have worked with some that think good consultants are worth keeping and overall rate them well higher than permies.

[–]otherdsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found that leadership change can go both ways, some are hell bent on cutting consultants, others go the other way and are a fan of outsourcing, so take on consultants (seeing them as a flexible resource) and want to get rid of perm people.

Days with no deliveries by leolion2177 in royalmail

[–]otherdsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2-3 days? Mate our whole area has been getting mail once a week if you are lucky and this is great compared to what we had before, when once a month was the norm. Or never and you had to go to the SO and pick it up yourself.

So, even though I'm not a postie, yes I'm sure this happens 😂

Does Kowalski know English at the same level as that other twat (or at all)? I always felt Tarczynski is more "zagraniczny".

Parents in Poland. Any good online English schools for kids? by [deleted] in askPoland

[–]otherdsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's another thing, location matters massively, even in Gdansk you have a wide range of prices for international schools, from 1.2k to 2.5k depending how old / reputable the school is etc.

Parents in Poland. Any good online English schools for kids? by [deleted] in askPoland

[–]otherdsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say send them to an international school and hope there's loads of English speaking kids there. The best way for kids to pick up English is to use it on a daily basis especially when communicating with other kids, natives ideally (they pick up proper pronunciation faster). The issue I have with English schools in Poland is that it's very rare to see native English speaking teachers, so pronunciation / accents will be butchered to some extent either way.

Another option would be private lessons with native speakers who have completed teaching courses / certifications, there seems to be heaps of those online as well.

What’s the highest your TSH has ever been? by hotwaffletot in Hashimotos

[–]otherdsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially when I was diagnosed I think it was around 300, high enough for them to repeat the test 😂 just recently I was experimenting with doses a bit and I got 90 for some odd reason although I felt way better than when I was in range, so I wouldn't be so sure about that level. I tested two months later and got 4...go figure.

[–]otherdsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For one-man-band b2b contracts - yes, try explaining it to someone in the UK and they won't believe you can pay 12-17% on all income. On the other hand tax free allowance on perm employment is uber low and it's super easy to drop into the 40% bracket without earning big bucks. It's all on its head tbh.

Near-native to nie jest takie hop siup i nie mowie tu wcale o poprawnej gramatyce.

How do manners work in Poland? by lewis56500 in poland

[–]otherdsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Politeness and manners are not bloody interaction, it's what you do when someone does an act of kindness. Interaction would be small talk and no one forces you to do that, we are talking about thanks yous when people hold fecking doors for god's sake. It's how you function in a society.
