Moving to Warsaw - Australian

[u/neptune2304]

Hi everyone,

I’m an Australian thinking to move to Warsaw soon with my Polish wife. I’ve worked in law enforcement back home, but I know that won’t really carry over to Poland, so I’m open to general administrative or office roles. I have Portuguese citizenship so hopefully that should make things a bit easier. love to hear from locals and expats about what the job market is like at the moment.

A few things I’m curious about: - Are there many English-only jobs in Warsaw, or are they quite competitive? - Which industries tend to hire English speakers? - How different is the work culture compared to Western countries?

I’d really appreciate any advice, personal experiences, or tips on making the move smoother. Thanks so much in advance!

Expect to not work in your current profession unless you have some really special skills in that regard. There is the frontex HQ in Warsaw, so not sure if you could land something there. Portuguese citizenship at least gives you full working rights. You might get a job as a night guard somewhere but don't expect that to pay you much

Yeh 100% . Im okay with leaving law enforcement behind - happy to pick something more office based 9-5 though
