    Send the job offer!
    Na, sounds really good

    Do you have partner or family or something like "Im not sure"?

    I don't know much about Poland, but here in France this is a LOT. I believe Poland is cheaper than France, so it looks like quite a good deal...
    Almost fishy in fact, what's the position?

    @lostpirate I have somethings that I need to consider.
    1. My little daugther that is only 10 months old.
    2. Finish my collegue. I am on the second year.

    But my wife is from ukraine so it is almost the same culture. And her home country is right next door.

    So I think that will be a nice adventure for all of us.

    @willol The position is for a Front End developer but I am trying to get a Back End position because I have more experience in that area and it is the area that I like more working on.

    If you don't try it, you'll spend the following years thinking: "what if". Good luck friend!

    @cmall1234 Thank you. I am almost 100% sure it is an awsome opportunity. I want to give my all so it doesn't go away

    @Shadow117 can you finish college from Poland?

    I cant help with the daughter, imo is personal decision there

    @lostpirate Maybe. If the classes are in english. But I have to talk with the people in my collegue to understand which procedures I have to take.

    @Haxk20 I have been searching the internet for information like that. I have seen that the food is a little more expensive than here in Portugal. Can you tell me about the life style?

    I can't really provide much insight on the monetary site of things, since I just got my second paycheck.
    But what I can tell you is that for your daughter ( if she and your wife cone with you) this is a giant opportunity, growing up bi or even multilingually is a giant opportunity. I was part of an expat community for a couple of years and I got embarrassed multiple times by 3 year Olds that were only there for half a year that helped me translate stuff I ( being there 4 years) could say. So if they can follow you go for it.
    If you are however forced to go alone then I have only one advice for you: don't cheat. I know I am a random stranger and that I must look like a complete asshole for saying that but I have seen so many families brake apart because the man was alone out there and lonely.
    I hope you can forgive me for the last paragraph. I am sorry if I upset you.

    @vringar Your last paragraph made my day. I laughed so hard. She is in college too but she is almost done so the first year I may go alone becuse is not worht it for her to leave college at this time. But with monthly flights to Portugal I think that will not happen. But I will look out for that situation.

    @Shadow117 A change of environment is always interesting. Whether you like it or not, you'll get new perspectives. Jump in head-first at the deep end of the pool!

    @MatWolf What can you tell me about the culture, life style, prices, college, safety and so on (Basicly everything you can think of haha)😀.

    Btw I am right now at my class and we are talking about binary trees. They complicate things so much...

    Accept it.

    I'm from Portugal, working in Poland. I make less than half and I'm able to save about 40% of that without trying hard.
    I eat everyday outside, never bring food from home. It's really cheap here. A nice restaurant will cost you about 15€
    A regular one will cost you 4€

    Polish language itself is super hard, one of the hardest, even beats Chinese, but most young people speak English.
    You can live in Warsaw with about 600€, with your family I assume 1500/2000€ would be more than enough to live.

    Public transport is great and cheap, sure there's the occasional smelling person, but they're everywhere.

    I believe there are also English schools, but not 100% sure about that.

    You can always go back, at least you had the experience.

    I see you're Portuguese.
    Aceita, nem penses duas vezes. Apenas o frio é lixado.

    Just be careful with contracts before moving.

    Hi devranters....

    I didn't get the job... They found a guy with more experience that accepted the terms.

    Tonight I will cry a river so I can swim to Poland.

    Already working on another opportunity in Ireland.

    So fuck yeah never stop searching. Hehehehe 😀

    At least gained experience in interviewes. So the next time it will be better.
