I'm not interacting with companies seeking cheap labor in Poland - like Intel. Despite their quite active recruiters, all conversations with whom end up at "company policy doesn't allow me to discuss salary range".
I've set up a small business with EU tax id over a decade ago and I'm issuing invoices to European countries (EU and Schengen) and North America.
It's a trade-off of giving up European employment safety, pension, some quality of life when working in different timezone, benefits and job security, to work for higher salary.
But it only makes sense until some business decides that they would like a contractor from Poland with a Polish salary.
- grugagag 2y agoI agree with you but your locals need to be educated on this issue. Many may think it’s a good deal, especially if promises are thrown in. They would sabotage themselves but it’ll take some time for them to find out it’s a bad deal.
- reaperducer 2y ago"company policy doesn't allow me to discuss salary range". Walk. Any company that puts policy over people isn't a good company.

- marcosdumay 2y agoWell, yeah. But you are right that this is not actionable.
- throwaway2037 2y agoGiving up pension? Does that make good financial sense? I hear this a lot from people under 40, then they have an "oh shit" moment after 60 and regret it.
