Signification
To be offered employment.
Contexte culturel
In Poland, the 'offer' is often just the beginning. Candidates usually negotiate the 'type of contract' (Umowa o pracę vs B2B), which can significantly change the net salary. The term 'owocowe czwartki' (fruit Thursdays) is a common cultural trope used when discussing job offers, often mockingly, to describe basic perks. In the Polish tech scene, getting an offer from a 'FAANG' company (Facebook, Amazon, etc.) is a major status symbol and is often shared on LinkedIn with the phrase 'z ekscytacją ogłaszam...'. During the communist era, you didn't 'get an offer'; you were 'directed to work' (nakaz pracy). The shift to 'getting an offer' represents the freedom of the modern era.
Check the case
Always remember 'ofertę' (Accusative). Saying 'dostałem oferta' is a very common beginner mistake.
Don't say 'o pracę'
It's 'oferta pracy' (Genitive), not 'oferta o pracę'. This is a common confusion with 'umowa o pracę'.

Formal vs Informal
Use 'otrzymać' in your LinkedIn bio or CV, but 'dostać' when talking to friends.
Negotiation
In Poland, it's perfectly normal to negotiate after you 'dostałeś ofertę'. Don't feel pressured to say yes immediately.

4 questionsIt's grammatically okay but sounds weird because 'oferta' is formal and 'robota' is informal. Better to say 'Dostałem robotę' or 'Dostałem ofertę pracy'.
'Oferta' sounds more official and final. 'Propozycja' can be more informal or a preliminary suggestion.
Yes, it's neutral. However, the recruiter will likely use 'złożyć ofertę' (to make an offer) or 'przedstawić ofertę' (to present an offer).
You say: 'Czekam na ofertę pracy'.
