Kot's debut in the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup took place in December 2007 in Villach. The 2011/2012 World Cup season marked first time he scored points on the tour. On December 3, 2011 took 19th place on the hill in Lillehammer. Finally made it twelve times that winter, his best score was 12th place (twice) in Lahti on March 4 and March 11 in Oslo.

On July 21, 2012, during the Summer Grand Prix competition in Wisla, Kot stood on the podium for the first time in occupations that rank alongside Simon Ammann and Wolfgang Loitzl. On September 30, 2012 in Hinzenbach, he again was the winner of the Summer Grand Prix, ahead of the second-placed Severin Freund and third-placed Taku Takeuchi. In the 2012 season he placed 5th in the Summer Grand Prix. On January 1, 2013, in the 61st Four Hills Tournament in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, he placed 5th.

On March 2, 2013 he won a bronze medal in the team competition with his teammates: Kamil Stoch, Dawid Kubacki, and Piotr Żyła.[6] The Polish team initially took fourth place, but after re-counting the scores because of Thomas Morgenstern, who noticed a mistake in the points and at the request of the Germans, they finished in third place (The Norwegian team was initially in front of the Polish team, but Anders Bardal's jump was badly counted).[7]
