The job market in Poland is booming if you're working in finance or IT. Not to brag but I make more than 12k net/month and I'm 100% employed in Poland. I'm also not a manager. I know many other people who make solid money in Warsaw and Krakow. As a manager I wouldn't even look at anything below 20k net. The catch is that I travel a lot and put in many hours.
I would leave Poland for an equivalent salary and less working hours in a warmer country in Southern Europe but so far it's been almost impossible to find anything. The salaries in Greece, Italy and Portugal are laughable. The entry level positions in those countries may be better paid but for people with solid work experience they are actually lower than in Poland. If you add in the cost of living as well you're trading in 30-40% of your purchasing power to make the move from Poland. Spain is a bit better.
Solid countries to make money are UK, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Germany. Austria and France as well to a certain extent. Belgium is good but the taxes are too high. I'm sure you can squeeze in a good salary in Ireland or Iceland as well but who the fuck wants to live there ?
That is very good news for me.
It seems like I am looking for some unicorn and think that grass is always greener somewhere out there. Your words got me thinking. I had no idea that experienced and competent people are making more here than in the countries you mentioned.
I need to reconsider my drive to move out. Thanks

Those are the current salaries... I work for a Fortune 100 IT company here and I do not see much salary above 12K GROSS. Exception is for people who have 10 years+ experience OR who are freelance... in that case indeed it might be worth considering Poland
Those are base salaries (no overtime, no bonuses). If your job requires regular travel outside Poland you get per diems. Look for a job in consultancy companies (EY, Deloitte, Accenture, CapGemini etc), that's where you can make good money. For example the per diem for Switzerland is 400+ zl/day net. If you're flying from Monday to Friday you're getting 2000 zl/week in addition to your normal salary.
