IT Employment in Poland

As a result of the unfavourable economic situation, more and more Ukrainians are leaving the country for employment. One of the most popular destinations – Poland. Poles are going to the European Union and the UK in droves to work. Lack of IT specialists is forcing local employers to sign up overseas workers. 90% of foreign IT workers in the neighbouring country – come from Ukraine.

IT migrant workers choose Poland because of:

.
• wages that are considerably higher than at home
.
• territorial proximity
.
• Similarity of Ukrainian and Polish language.

.

As a rule, our compatriots have been in high demand for jobs in IT.

In the first case, there are 2 possibilities – legal and illegal employment. It is possible to extend the visa after the expiry of the period. In some cases, unofficial employment is more profitable because the employer does not pay taxes and the employee gets a larger sum of money.
