Hello forum
I turn to you with this problem. It will have big impact to my life so I hope you give your opinion!
I have now abandoned my country of origin as it is a lost cause for few decades. I would like to settle in Poland as I really like the country. However it seems like finding an IT job is surprisingly difficult for me, even though salaries in Poland are almost on 3rd world country level. I applied for few jobs in Berlin and they were much more receptive. I started to think: why wouldn't I get a job from Berlin and then travel to Poznan every Friday or Thursday, then return late Sunday?
The benefits would be:
+ Better net income. Not hugely but it will have a difference whether I can own a car or fly to my homeland whenever I like (also, flights are more numerous and cheaper there).
+ Working in Berlin probably sounds more impressive than some Polish city.
+ Many things to see and do in Berlin.
+ The language will be much more easy for me to learn and I already know it a little.
+ I could shuttle people between the cities with my car: great way to pay gasoline expenses and meet new people.
+ If I become suddenly unemployed I can expect to get some benefits before I find a new job.
+ Wider variety of jobs than in any Polish city.
The drawbacks:
- Getting to know people in Poznan will be more difficult compared to situation where I would be living there all the time, having Polish workmates, attend the meetings of local foreigners etc. No possibility to approach Polish girls in their daily routines.
- It is of course easier to concentrate to one city than share your attention between two of them. Makes life more complicated and costs money.
- I know Poznan quite badly but when I was there many girls in bars seemed somehow like peasants. Although there were lots of pretty ones too.
- When I talked to some Poznan girls on public places they just escaped the situation without answering anything. This has never happened in some other Polish cities.
- Level of English seems not good.
- I'm not sure if I can learn to live with German mentality.
- If I bring later a Polish girl to Berlin to live with me will she turn into a slut when removed from her natural environment?
- From southern Poland it would much more easy to do trips to to other EE countries (except maybe Lithuania which is awesome).
So, what do you think? I would really appreciate your thoughts and I promise to consider naming my future children after your nicks if I get very valuable feedback.
