Hi Philyyy:

I read your post regarding IH in Bydgoszcz. The DOS just contacted me and is interested in my CV. I am considering goign there if the application process goes well.

Would you be so kind as to tell me more (advantages/disadvatanges) of both the school and the city. I was there a few years back but only spent a few blurry nights in the city.

I'm interested in things like:

-IH pay
-accomodation
-treatment
-workload
-how much i could save


ETC.....

Thanks alot man

You will save NOTHING on that salary.The housing is shared and not of modern stock.You will work 24 hours a week.You will be treated ok and paid on time.When I worked there you were paid through Glenrex in the UK a front firm which only exists on paper.That means they pay you what the UK minimum untaxable income is or something close.This means they do not pay any tax but use your tax allowance.
People who tell you the salary is ok are either very tight people,nuns or priests who live a life without sin or people who want you to work there....it's 300 quid in a country where imported things (ie good quality) are often more expensive than the UK.Wise up....you sound a bit green to me.Trust me 'good local salary' always means you will be skint.

Hi! I got your message. I indeed worked there last year and the wages were enough to live off but as it has been said it's not enough to save if you are thinking about taking the money back to Britain etc. But the training's good, the DOS is helpful, the people are friendly and there's lots to do and see in Bydgoszcz and Poland. So I say go for it and I hope to say hello to you soon!
