Yeah, it's weird to put it this way. The thing though is: the whole dev team at our company speaks Polish, so it would be very uncomfortable to be the only person who doesn't.

Is the requirement:

- speak Polish

- have Polish citizenship

- be a native of Poland

The first two of those aren't very strange. The last one is.

The requirement is to speak Polish. You're right, that's what we should've put there. (In practice, though, it's extremely rare that someone speaking Polish wouldn't be a native.)

Agree, odd way to put, I think OP also meant one should accept low wages :)

No, that's not what I meant. Everything is relative, though — if you live in a crazy expensive place like San Francisco, yeah, it's not gonna work.

Forget SF. Compare to some west European cities like Berlin, Cologne, Dublin...
