Czech RepublicvsPoland

Czechia and Poland are Central Europe value plays with growing tech and shared-services scenes. Prague and Warsaw set the tone, but secondary cities matter for rent. Both sit in the EU with different languages and hiring cultures.

English is uneven outside international offices. Night trains and budget flights make weekend testing easy before you commit.
