Significado
To have accomplished something.
Contexto cultural
In Polish sports culture, 'mieć na koncie' is the primary way to discuss a player's legacy. It is used with deep respect for veterans of the game. Modern Polish startups and tech companies use this phrase in 'About Us' sections to build trust with clients by listing completed projects. Polish news reports use this phrase to maintain a neutral, objective tone when discussing a suspect's criminal history. While 'mieć na koncie' is used, artists often prefer 'mieć w dorobku' to sound more sophisticated and less transactional.
Use it in CVs
Instead of saying 'I worked on...', say 'Mam na koncie realizację...'. It sounds much more impressive to Polish recruiters.
Don't use for money only
If you only use this for money, you're missing 90% of its power. Use it for goals, books, and trips!
