Thanks, Mom 😊

Oga I recognise all of these buildings from when I went to Berlin myself in April this year on hols. It is a very different for sure but has a lot of amazing stuff to do. Looks like you're having a great time too 👌🏾

[@EmmanuelOkwara]

Thanks bro! If I knew you were around I would have invited you to lunch. 🥲 Looking forward to your next visit… or mine.

Great content bro! Wish you success! 🙌 Watching from sunny Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬🙂

Greetings to you 🫡🇰🇬

[@veedjohnson]

This is amazing. Do you have videos sharing your journey from Nigeria to Germany? 🙌🏾

[@samuelkendrick9152]

Big ups man

[@hussainkhan7958]

Which roadmap is best for software engineer in Germany and why ?

[@abdu5822]

hey man, could you please a video about your new role, interview process, relocation process. tips for people considering finding jobs in abroad? thanks.

[@EmmanuelOkwara]

I’ll add it to my list 😊

[@emyokalla3236]

Way to go brother...a major improvement from what it use to be back in Nigeria...Hope i can move over to Berlin just like you someday and have a better lifestyle...cos i'm quite burnt out over here.

[@FredWang]

Also the gym is pretty cool, man.

[@codestories]

well done!

[@EmmanuelOkwara]

Thanks, Nathaniel 😊

[@sebastiancallozzo1117]

Most of the time in the gym. It seems no bugs to resolve

[@mudiagaoneil1384]

I had thought they would be really serious about work; but no!

[@KingstonFortune]

Nice fresh video, I like the 3rd person view....coupled with the background music very soothing...have you made any German friends yet? I heard they are the hardest to make on the planet 😅aber sehr gut

[@EmmanuelOkwara]

Thanks, Kingston. 😅

[@abdorizak]

legend 😇

[@FredWang]

I'm curious who helped you shot the video when you were getting on sbahn. 🤔

[@harinazrekar4239]

hey bro which laptop shall i buy if i want to become a cloud / devops engineer a macbook air m1 or a gaming laptop

[@TuongNguyen-cz8ko]

What macbook are u using ?

[@Fate5742]

I'm just curious! Do y'all use German in the workplace?

[@leetcsl]

hey man, thanks you for that video, i was wondering what's the salary (a range if you don't want to say it) for those kinds of jobs in Berlin ? thanks! :)

[@EmmanuelOkwara]

Salary range usually depends on the role, level, organization, etc. I’d recommend that you used Glassdoor to see what the average salary is based on your criteria.

[@favoritetroll9774]

How old are you brother and can you make a video of how you moved from Nigeria to German

[@wordpressmagics2613]

Looks nice 😊 It would be more “close to the people” with first person video shooting and “live” voice recording. The whole video I was thinking “who is this guy who was walking near you the whole day”. P.S. It was also a bit strange part of the video when you were on the train and were adjusting your sleeve. 🙃 Anyway, aspiring and motivational video. Thanks

[@EmmanuelOkwara]

Thanks 😊 It’s hard to imagine that live audio will be easy to follow/edit 🤔 Also, “never to be caught unfresh” 😎

[@wordpressmagics2613]

@@EmmanuelOkwara Yep, you r right. Just do what you want and it would be your unique style. Don’t listen to me 😅

[@wordpressmagics2613]

@@EmmanuelOkwara I found your channel because of the great educational iOS development videos. Can I also ask you to create a video about relocation, work, life and salary in Germany, someday?

[@Afala_akounou_3abdan_chakouran]

My husband is a software engineer need a job in Germany can you help

[@5123karan]

Great video, I am moving to Berlin this year, is 65k enough for a comfortable life there ? How much does a 10 year experienced software engineer get in Berlin ? TIA

[@EmmanuelOkwara]

Congrats to you! 🥳🥳🥳 “Comfortable life” is pretty relative but with 65k I would say it’s quite nice 😊 I’m not sure how much. 10 year experienced engineer will get but maybe leverage platforms like Glassdoor or LinkedIn to get an idea.

[@akashsharkarakashsharkar2350]

nice

[@koyman]

Guten Abend, eine Frage. Um Software Engineer zu studieren, braucht man sehr gute Mathematik

[@EmmanuelOkwara]

Mathematik ist hilfreich, aber meiner Meinung nach kommt man mit einem grundlegenden Verständnis sehr weit.

[@ulugbeknematjonov566]

Great! Are you working as a iOS developer?

[@EmmanuelOkwara]

Yes

[@k303k]

If i have CS degree and about 2yrs of experience and cannot speak german but fluent in english. Is it okay to work in Germany as a Full Stack Software Developer?I'm from Asia.Will they accept and give visa for non EU citizen?

[@_ja1d465]

?

[@EmmanuelOkwara]

I would say that working in Germany is great. If you’re working in Berlin, you’ll be able to get by with little to no German (still it is best to learn). It’s also important to note that this may vary with company, size, role, location. If you’re working for an international company, English may be the “official” language.

[@_ja1d465]

Can i get job in germany on the basis of my 4years bachelor degree from india or i need to do masters in germany to get job pls relpy 💓

[@_ja1d465]

[@tokero5199]

I'm confused, why do you only have 20 minutes for workout each week? Also is going to the office at 10 am normal for you?

[@EmmanuelOkwara]

EMS is more intense and targeted. It’s said that a 20min session is enough for a week. Also, my work is very flexible. I can work from home or the office. Sometimes I start at home and end at the office and vice versa.

[@tokero5199]

@@EmmanuelOkwara Need to try that.. Not sure there is anywhere around here to try it though :(
