    • @fernandotabora
      @fernandotabora День тому

      Probably you would need to revalidate your degree here. You would need to check that. And german takes 2 intensive years for b2 level. But do some research. Not fully an expert when it comes to that part of work process

    • @fernandotabora
      @fernandotabora 2 дні тому

      For germany is high. Like most apartments now are around 1000 to 1500 probably 2k for 2 room apartments. Specially for students is very difficult. But I get it, is not high if you earn like 3k a month. But still other places in germany are just way cheaper.

  • @A1un9ine

    2 questions, first, do you have any degree past high school and if not, how did you adjust to Germany? Second is going to be a naive question but I figured I ask in case money was ever a consideration... Let's say, I booked a flight for the 1st of July next month, how much should I save totally in my pockets and bank account for let's say 3 months until I find a stable job and continue living in Germany?

    • @fernandotabora
      @fernandotabora 4 дні тому

      Hi! First of all you have to plan everything to the detail. You need to have a job first so that when you arrive, everything will be more easy. Finding apartments is really hard here, so by having a job contract, you can understand how much money you will win and also the landlords will be more secure with you applications. Germans like stability. 2) you have to learn at least a b2 german. Some jobs don't need german but is always good to have. Cheaper to learn it in your country of origin. 3) what I did was crazy and is better to do plans and be sure of what you will get here. So that when you come here, you have the most chances of succes. Is really not that hard, but it takes work and time. I am doing a vidoe about all this topics now, so make sure to stay on the loop. Hope this was helpful 🙏🏻

    For an exact same size flat in London I was paying 1150 pounds a month. But even here in Spain you wouldn't be able to get an apartment for 400 in Madrid (I think it's comparable city to Munich). The prices are good in Munich! Not sure why everyone says it's "super expensive". When a senior engineer earns 75k or more.

I had to go to a private female doctor and pay everything myself to get a diagnosis. It only took her 10 minutes to diagnose me. The treatment cost me another §2000€. So yes Germany is amazing if you’re a rich white heterosexual men. If you’re a women it willl suuuuuuck.
