Thanks for responses.
Im just doing a research where it is good to settle down so to speak.
On the other hand I would like to raise my kids in my native language and deep inside I would prefer to stay here where I feel at home. I like Poland but still feel like we are many years behind the Europe regarding pretty much everything. And I am tired of polish living conditions. You have to grind hard here to buy the same things that westerners can afford much easier. Even summer holiday, you go to nice places and prices in euro kind of kill your joy. Not fun to see some fucking tapas for 10-12 euro which is the price of full main dish in PL.
I guess the ultimate answer is making more money.
There's no country in Europe, where weather is great, everybody speaks English, people are nice, cost of living is low, salaries are high, infrastructure is good, bro. I've been to almost every country in Europe with few exceptions.
You need to narrow your criteria's. You know those girls who look for Mr. Charming, who's funny, rich, handsome, tall, charismatic, intelligent, caring, generous and then they complain about no good man is left for them. Just like that, your criteria's needs to be narrowed as well.
Does such a country even exist ?
For good weather all year round you don't have much choice: Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and Malta. Western Europe is not warmer than Eastern Europe, not sure where you get that from. Countries like UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland have shitty weather even in summer time with a good amount of rain. The North of France is also quite bad.
The job market in Poland is booming if you're working in finance or IT. Not to brag but I make more than 12k net/month and I'm 100% employed in Poland. I'm also not a manager. I know many other people who make solid money in Warsaw and Krakow. As a manager I wouldn't even look at anything below 20k net. The catch is that I travel a lot and put in many hours.
I would leave Poland for an equivalent salary and less working hours in a warmer country in Southern Europe but so far it's been almost impossible to find anything. The salaries in Greece, Italy and Portugal are laughable. The entry level positions in those countries may be better paid but for people with solid work experience they are actually lower than in Poland. If you add in the cost of living as well you're trading in 30-40% of your purchasing power to make the move from Poland. Spain is a bit better.
Solid countries to make money are UK, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Germany. Austria and France as well to a certain extent. Belgium is good but the taxes are too high. I'm sure you can squeeze in a good salary in Ireland or Iceland as well but who the fuck wants to live there ?
