Dealing with legal matters.
Myths and realities
MYTH: It is a common misconception that every organisation operates with a rigid, process-oriented structure and a pronounced hierarchy. While this may hold true for large, traditional corporations, the reality is quite different in the start-up world, like everywhere else in the world.
REALITY: The work environment is less gender-biased, with a focus on valuing individuals for their skills and competencies. Additionally, the German people exhibit a warm and positive disposition towards the French, embracing our culture with open arms.
My advice & top tips
Language barrier or not, the job market in Germany presents a vast array of opportunities. Last year alone, nearly 400,000 positions remained unfilled, indicating a significant demand for skilled workers. Take advantage of this unmet demand and consider applying for jobs in Germany. It is an opportunity too good to miss.
Quirky & cultural
One admirable trait about the Germans is their straightforwardness: they are people of their word, ensuring that what they say aligns with their actions.
And finally...
At first glance, Germany might not seem like the most enticing destination. However, many who venture here find compelling reasons to extend their stay beyond their initial plans.

My biggest challenge As an expat in Germany, I have to say that the administration can be a frequent challenge (especially if you do not speak German). Whether it is for registering your flat (Anmeldung), starting your own business, etc. Myths and realities MYTH: Germans are strict and narrow minded when it comes to work. REALITY: Working at start-ups, my experience of working with Germans has been good. The fact that they follow the rules is because of the trust system they have (at work, for transport, etc.,) where what you do and if you validated your ticket go largely unchecked. Germans speak great English and adapt to people who do not speak German. My advice & top tips Come for an internship or work experience in Berlin. You will not regret it, especially if you want to work in the startup scene and are looking for a good lifestyle as a twentysomething living in a European capital. Quirky & cultural Forget all the misconceptions about Germany, especially if you come to Berlin, because Berlin is not Germany. This city is highly unique, the people are open-minded, it attracts a lot of artists, is cosmopolitan, and affordable. And finally... Since living in Germany, I have come to realise just how many clichés about the Germans, or indeed the country itself, are utterly misleading. Find out for yourself and you might just end up staying: Germany (for me specifically Berlin) is an incredible place to live. Follow this link to read Go Germany in full

This week, discover what Ajith Krishnan from India has to say. About Ajith: GRADUATED FROM THE MBA PROGRAMME IN 2019 FROM INDIA CURRENT POSITION: MARKETING OPERATIONS MANAGER AT VEEVA SYSTEMS IN MUNICH, BAVARIA NATIVE LANGUAGE: MALAYALAM DAILY WORKING LANGUAGES: ENGLISH OTHER LANGUAGES SPOKEN: HINDI, TAMIL AND KANNADA GERMAN LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE BEEN LIVING IN GERMANY FOR: 3 YEARS Ajith's key messages: “One’s private life is very highly valued. People are kind, helpful & understanding. Everything is organised and so, even though it might be hard going for many at the beginning, over time it becomes easier to make a living in Germany. Cities are very clean, and rules are followed." My biggest challenge The language! Not understanding references and jokes in German is a real bummer. Myths and realities MYTH: German workplaces are very hectic & serious. In fact, Germans are fun people to be around. REALITY: Germany is a great place to work. All the big cities including Frankfurt, Berlin & Munich have a large English-speaking crowd, but most jobs require fluency in German. My advice & top tips Focus on areas that you have already acquired professional experience in, because it is easier to get a job in that field. Work experience and cultural fit really matter, so really focus on shortlisting opportunities that really interest you, rather than shooting in the dark. Quirky & cultural The emphasis on perfection & time management. There is no such thing as overtime. And finally... Germany is one of the best countries to work in, even though it might be a little more expensive in large cities as compared to most other European countries. It is a very student-friendly country with a lot of subsidies and concessions for students and interns. Germany has great cities that are very well connected and travelling throughout the country is easy and fun. Recent government initiatives also make it very affordable to travel all over Germany.
