I can't give you a straight forward answer bro. What I'd say is doing a masters in Germany is a good option if you want global exposure. It depends on your goals imo. If you're looking for a career abroad, it could be worth it I think. But also think about the costs and if it's the right step for your future plans. Also 80K PM is not a bad deal in India. But, also depends on your experience and market.

@@expatova I'm trying to find balance in life between finances, quality of life, and my responsibilities toward my parents. I feel like I'll regret it if I don't go, but I might also regret it if I do.

Hmm.. Each person's situaion and requirements are different. From the points your mentioned I'll tell you what I feel like compared to my situation. Finances, I am happy with what I earn. But, when I compare my friends earnings in India in the similar fields, I don't see a singnificant difference. I'd give 10/10 for the quality of life. Even though my socual security contributions are way higher, I am quite happy with what I get in return. To the last point, I am bit sad that I can't visit them often. Kerala is around 12 hrs flying from here, and the cost for the flight would be around 3500€+ for my family (3 people), and I only see this increasing year by year. Hope you get an idea.

That's quite a controversial statement, imo. The gender pay gap is everywhere, but it's reassuring to see that Germany ranks much lower on the list of countries with significant gaps.

I'd say the film makers choose the best cast for their characters.

🤣🤣 not so cheap in Germany!

While it’s easy to feel pessimistic, there are still many honest people in Germany who report lost items. Stay hopeful and focus on the positive 🤞🏽

Great tip. 👍

If the item found is of value, the finder is legally entitled to a finder's fee. The finder's fee is 5 per cent of the value of the find if it is worth up to 500 euros. For monetary finds, it is 3 per cent from a value of 50 euros. If the material or monetary value exceeds 500 euros, the finder's reward is 3 per cent of the added value, i.e. the amount above this.

Also note that this has to be paid by the person who lost the item when collecting it, and I think (not very sure) the person who lost the item must pay the fee even if the person who found it did not want to claim it.

Hey I don’t think so. But a general comment, compared to other countries like the US or Singapore for example, Germany has the slowest internet speeds. So using VPN via Germany is probably not a smart idea.

@ no I meant if the Person living currently in India and download from India through German vpn . Will he face any consequences if he went to Germany for living later ? I meqn will they apply German law on Indian citizen just because of vpn . Plz reply me

@ nope. It’s okay as far as I know.

@@expatova okay, thanks

imo, as long as every person in this world thinks the same way, there will always be some kind of discrimination.

You know, when our son was born we decided that we wont post his photos online, and if we do, we make sure not to show his face. It wasn't because of the law. Once he turns to an age when he can understand what is social media, the goods and bads of it, let him choose.

True that!

Unfortunately you are then talking to the wrong people. I am permanently living here for 9 years now, and have been visiting Germany since 2012 every year. Never noticed any such issues.

​@expatova that sounds soo good the I feel I made the right choice 🫶 love your videos stumbled to your account just 3 weeks before no jinx would move there soon And please keep posting hehe I would to know more about the country

​@@expatova also can you make videos on learning german living out of Germany like I'm in india currently using duolingo

​@@Flower__123-m3o When I learned english as a kid, I used to listen/translate english lyrics of popular songs. I think it is an additional and fun way to get a feeling for the "melody" of the language 🙂

​@anjafark Omg that's a good way I'll try that once i get familiar with words xo

I get the fun. But, I think rather than poking the inner feelings, let’s be sensible and give a mature reply. That’s how I won both of those instances I mentioned in the video.

True. Germany is not the only country with such a supportive system. It was quite informative to me, as I am not used to this. Plus, I know this must be new to many other people who have recently come here or want to come here.

@expatova I'm from Canada, and for my American friends, it's cheaper to come here and pay to get treatment as a foreigner than it is to get treatment in their own country, including the cost of a flight here and back. It makes me sad that there are more places like that who don't take care of their people. 73 out of 195 countries have universal healthcare, which makes up 69% of the world population. The US is the only developed country that doesn't, in fact. If you are a citizen of a country that doesn't have it, and it is safe for you to do so, you should try to fight for that right so that everyone can have that same access

@@FullMetalAlphonse you are absolutely right

Hey 👋🏻, yes. It doesn't matter if you are here for long, or a new comer. You get all the benefits. Kindergeld, Familiengeld (until the child turns 3 years), etc.

The funeral thing itself was a cultural shock bro! Otherwise, how the children are treated here for eg. Education system, etc. There are many things that are different from where I am coming from. Imo, both positive and negative. Do you have any experiences?

That’s great to hear! Check out my videos for tips on moving to Germany. I am currently running a series of 10 videos that help you move to Germany. Do check and let me know if you have any specific questions!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sorry you went through that. it’s unacceptable for anyone to face such rude behavior. But remember, not everyone shares that mindset. Keep practicing and connecting with supportive communities!

@@expatova yea I know, not evryone is rude. I thought he had bad day and I forgive him. Thanks!

In Austria, you might get strudel instead of a fine 🍰... but seriously, downloading movies illegally is a no go in most countries, including Austria. Better stick to streaming services. safer and tastier for your conscience!

Glad you liked it bro

imo, both makes sense. If you start applying even before coming here, you'd get an idea about how the application process works, what are your chances, in case if you have to change something in your resume, etc. If you wait till you are here, you take advantage of already being in the country, ready to join immediately, etc. You need to figureout which way works well for you.

64.000€ before taxes (gross)annually means, would be around 3.292€ NET per month. That being in Tax class 1, no church tax, and having statutory insurance. imo, this is a very good salary for a single person in Germany. For calculation try www.brutto-netto-rechner.info/index.php

I think You can. experience letters are valid proof even without a job offer. Make sure your degree is recognized in Germany, show proof of financial means (€947/month in a blocked account), and have a German health insurance.Check www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa-residence/types/job-search-opportunity-card for more

Does it have to be?

🤦‍♂️

@expatova fined lagega ... 1 month hua h Germany me.. pata nahi tha

Cry

Where have you gone after that??

Yes, there are chances for English teachers in Germany, even if you are not a native speaker. You might need a TEFL or TESOL certificate and good English skills. Knowing some German can also help with daily life. It's possible, but you need to look in the right place. I am posting another video in a week, that talk about how to find a job in Germany. I am sure it will be helpful to you.

@expatova Thank you so much Sir 🤍 I really wish to work there!

Sir, pay depends on the job. As far as I know, private schools pays around €10-20 per hour for part time, and full-time jobs can be €2500-4000 per month. Keep looking and applying to jobs!

Hey, changing tax class is not something that happens automatically. Once your spouse registers in Germany, you need to go to Finanzamt to get your tax class changed. I've wrote a detailed guide about it on Expatova. Check it out here. www.expatova.com/how-to-change-tax-classes-in-germany

imo, either you need to stick with earning one lakh, or be ready to count every euro you spend in Germany. it’s a whole new level of budgeting fun! 🤩

We were thinking the same!

Always welcome 🤗

Absolutely! For day to day life, like when you visit a local grocery store, or in the bus or even making friends, learning German will be a plus point. I am someone who didn't take it seriously, and I am struggling.!

We both might be talking about the same content. Since DW makes a lot of videos, not sure if there have been another video that covers the same topics.

Bro, there are many. You can simply do a comparison in Check 24 (www.check24.de/rechtsschutzversicherung/) I've subscribed the one from Feather Insurance.

I get the fun, for sure. 😉 But, Germans in general are very welcoming, that's a personal experience. If you are open to enjoy all 4 seasons, the weather is fine too. But, the German lanugage, hmmm........

@expatova Antarctica is warmer than Germans 😆

@@expatova the best thing to do in Germany is to leave 😆

@ perspectives 😉

​@@expatovaif you are an ambitious man then Germany is a waste of time for you.

Can you elaborate what exactly happened then as most people are not big?

C’mon let’s stop piracy, not support it by finding tricky ways 😉

You had a small trip and felt entitled to give your comments? Get a life

There is no racism against Chinese people in the West. They are welcome with love and warm friendship.

Hey bro, I haven’t studied in Germany. So I do t have any in person experience. But from what I know from friends is that it can be challenging. The courses are detailed, and you need to study independently. But it’s doable. Many international students succeed, so don’t worry too much!

Glad it was helpful!

Isn’t that more of my personal preference than someone asking me to?

Hello bro, I’ve written a detailed guide here 👉🏽 www.expatova.com/arbeitslosengeld-unemployment-benefits-in-germany

Did u work in Germany ?

Hi Bro, didn't see your comment early. I've written a detailed article about it on Expatova. Please check it out here : www.expatova.com/arbeitslosengeld-unemployment-benefits-in-germany

He he, not where I am coming from

In other countries, these services are not as expensive too. So you might be good without insurance anyway.

@ I can't agree. I ran a few cases in India and am still running 2 FIRs. Though the frequency is low, the amount you pay to the attorney is fairly expensive. Well, depends on the attorney too.
