				Whichever you personally prefer. How about languages? Also, Poland will be cheaper in most cases, but might offer you a lower quality of life. All depends on where you would go in the countries.

				Poland is great. Can’t wait to come back there. It’s also cheaper to live in than Germany, so you can buy more rubber ducks.

				I'm a native german not living in Berlin (but western germany) and I can give you some thoughts and rough numbers.
 With 45k gross per year, you will get like 2,5k net per month (a common rule to calculate your gross/net value in germany is to divide your gross by 3 multiply it by 2 to get your net income).
 Berlin is a really expensive city to live there.

 You will see, that even small apartements cost you like 500€-900€ per month (which depends strongly where you want to live).
 On top on this rent, you'll have to pay for gas (heating, warm water, ~50€), electricity (~50€), telefon/internet/tv (~40€), just to give you some numbers.
 I think, after all your minimum costs (food, car, gas for your car), you can spend like 1k-1,5k€ a month for freetime activities, partying, bitcoin gambling.
 
 If you have further questions, just ask. I will try to answer them. :)

				 leksyib94007y@Stahlbart thanks!

				What, 45k in Germany is even above the median income, so that's already the upper 50% because the median is around 35k (that's e.g. what a professional nurse in Berlin has). Add in that this is for a 17 year old without degree, and it's kind of a jackpot hit.
 
 However, that's also a downside: in Germany, HR is usually quite obsessed with CVs and formal degrees. Getting another even remotely similar job e.g. in case the company goes down could become difficult.






If you got job offers from 2 companies, one in Poland, another in Germany, and they want you to relocate. All things being equal, which one would you select based on country?
