I am a freshman here so here I say my hello.
I live in Poland and being close to my mid-twenties (which means cutting many ties, as you could guess) I started to seriously consider working abroad. Recently I came across a few job openings in Germany - most of them in Berlin and Hamburg - and that's why I'm here.
Because you're such a kind and vibrant community I'd like to ask for a quick summary of pros and cons of moving to the said cities. I'd like to know more about cost of living, options to spend my spare time (I am fond of popculture and group activities) and I'm also keen to know whether it's possible to have a good start there without knowing nearly any bit of German language.
Plus I'd be equally grateful for trivia-like advice like "do not go near the lighthouse before the rooster sings", meaning any tips out of category but of great use are also welcome.
So again - hello, please help me make a decision. Thanks in advance.
PS. Of course I meant that pros and cons are appreciated, pardon.
