Yes. The Blue Card offers an accelerated route to long-term EU resident status, and time spent legally in other EU countries can count toward the required residence period.
Blue Card holders benefit from favourable rules when applying for EU long-term resident status. The standard requirement is around five years of continuous legal residence, but for Blue Card holders the qualifying period can include legal stays in other EU member states, which can shorten the time needed in Poland itself.

Keeping clean, continuous documentation of your residence and employment makes this transition far easier.
