Krakow - Post Report Question and Answers

What types of jobs do most expatriate spouses/partners have? Locally based or telecommuting? Full-time or part-time? Can you comment on local salary scales?

Seems like most folks come with a telework job or DETO agreement. There are a few jobs for family members at the consulate; reach out to the management officer if you want to work because they may wait to advertise until there are interested candidates. The local market almost always requires Polish, and local salaries are not that great by US standards. - Jun 2024

There are some English-teaching jobs, but not well-paid. The Consulate has some positions for family members. - Sep 2011


Not really. Jobs at the consulate are the best bet. - Aug 2011
