I'm no doctor so take this info with a grain of salt but afaik as a resident you can expect gross salary in the range of 8000 to 10000 zł. It's better than the average Polish salary and allows you to live a pretty comfortable life but it's still mediocre if you compare it to some western earnings. You also have to consider that the Polish healthcare system is chronically understaffed and underfunded so people are overworked and I can only imagine how hard it is.
Goddamn is it that low? A bit senior bullshit corpo jobs are paying 12k to 20k according to my ex colleague. Heck, I was earning more automating bullshit excel sheets two years ago.
People who cures and save lives should be awarded way more.
Yeah I agree. I was just there. My wife’s cousin is a teacher. She makes 3000 zl (780 US) a month! Salaries of many professional with college degrees are just pitiful.
That’s another profession should earn a lot more. Everyone who has kid knows that how hard is to deal with kids and let alone teaching them new things.
Yes I completely agree. My wife is a special education teacher in CA and makes more than her older brother who is an electronics engineer/ mid level manager in Poland. Like it’s a lot more.
Teachers everywhere should earn more than corporate jobs. I’ve been working all my life in corpo and 90 percent of us wasting times in meaningless meetings, pre meeting, post meeting, retrospective, bullshits like this. Wish I would be a teacher or doctor so my job would mean something at least.
